The Brazilian Chamber of Commerce in London and Lex Anglo-Brasil presented:
A discussion in respect of the main provisions and a comparison of the legislation introduced further to the OECD recommendations.
In light of the Financial Action Task Force recommendations – an intergovernmental body in charge of promoting the implementation of anti-money laundering measures -, Brazil has enacted law No. 12,683/12 which lays down new provisions in combating money laundry. The new law addresses several issues not covered under the previous legislation, and therefore it shall be deemed to be an important tool to combat money laundry in the country.
