dbo:abstract
  • The Council for Financial Activities Control (Portuguese: Conselho de Controle de Atividades Financeiras - COAF) is the national Financial Intelligence Unit of Brazil that is responsible for receiving and analyzing information on financial transactions which are considered to be linked to money laundering. The COAF disseminates the results of its analyses to the competent authorities where there are grounds to suspect money laundering or terrorist financing. It was originally created in 1998 "under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Finance, for the purpose of regulating, applying administrative sanctions, receiving pertinent information, examining and identifying suspicious occurrences of illicit activities related to money laundering."Its organization and structure, as well as its Internal Rules and Regulations, were also defined in a Decree and Administrative Rule respectively, both enacted between October and December 1998. On 19 August 2019 the name of the COAF was changed to Financial Intelligence Unit (Unidade de Inteligência Financeira in Portuguese) by an provisional decree of the President Jair Bolsonaro, who transferred the newly created unit under the control of the Central Bank of Brazil. However, the National Congress of Brazil amended the text of the decree, sanctioned by Law No. 13,974 of 7 January 2020, and decided that the name of the Unit would remain Council for Financial Activities Control (COAF).

  • O Conselho de Controle de Atividades Financeiras (COAF) é um órgão administrativo brasileiro criado pela Lei nº 9.613, de 3 de março de 1998, durante as reformas econômicas feitas pelo governo de Fernando Henrique Cardoso. Vinculado ao Banco Central do Brasil, tem a finalidade de disciplinar, aplicar penas administrativas, receber, examinar e identificar ocorrências suspeitas de atividade ilícitas relacionada à lavagem de capitais. No dia 19 de agosto de 2019, a Medida Provisória nº 893 transformou o COAF na Unidade de Inteligência Financeira (UIF), vinculada administrativamente ao Banco Central do Brasil, composta por Conselho Deliberativo e Quadro Técnico-Administrativo, mantendo as competências legais atribuídas ao órgão anterior. Porém, após alteração do texto no Congresso Nacional sancionada como Lei nº 13.974, de 7 de janeiro de 2020, foi decidido que o nome permaneceria sendo COAF. (pt)
