This Monday, the 4th, the Central Bank added a new item to the list of operations and situations subject to communication to the Financial Activities Control Council (Coaf), as they may constitute evidence of crimes of laundering or concealment of assets, rights and values and financing of terrorism.
Now the list also includes attempts to provision or withdraw in cash amounts arising from parliamentary amendments in accounts intended to receive these resources. The inclusion appears in a normative instruction that amends Circular Letter No. 4,001.
In addition to the item, a second article was added in reference to the decision of Minister Flávio Dino, of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), in the Claim of Non-Compliance with Fundamental Precept (ADPF) 854, in which he determined greater transparency and traceability in parliamentary amendment data.
The article states that, due to the Supreme Court’s decision, “withdrawals in cash of amounts arising from parliamentary amendments, including those transferred to the accounts of companies that are the final beneficiaries of the resources, are prohibited, with appropriate segregation occurring”.
The normative instruction is signed by the heads of the BC Financial System Regulation Department, Mardilson Fernandes Queiroz, and the Conduct Supervision Department, Gustavo Martins dos Santos.
