On June 22, the Chamber of Deputies approved with modifications the bill that modifies articles 13, 25 and 28 of Law 1,015/1,997, “What prevents and represses illicit acts destined to the legitimization of money or goods” , modified by laws 3783/2009 and 6797/2021.
This project consisted of the inclusion of clubs and tobacco companies among the obligated subjects of Seprelad’s money laundering controls. However, with the modifications, it was established that the controls will be carried out by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce (MIC) and not by Seprelad.
Now he is back in the Senate field. It should be remembered that last Thursday, Salyn Buzarquis, a national senator for the Liberal Party (PLRA), requested that the project be discussed this Thursday.
The same legislator affirms that if they get 23 votes, they will be ratified in the initial version and it will go back to the Deputies, where they will need 41 votes for rejection.
At the time, some 39 of 45 senators had voted to approve the document.
