## Basis
- [Law n.º 9.613/1998 (Planalto, in Portuguese)](https://www.planalto.gov.br/ccivil_03/leis/l9613.htm): provides for money laundering crimes, creates Coaf and establishes, in Art. 16, § 2.º, the jurisdiction of the CRSFN to judge appeals against administrative penalties applied by the body.

## How it applies
Coaf has the competence to discipline and apply administrative penalties to individuals and entities subject to control mechanisms under Law 9.613/1998. When Coaf decides to apply an administrative sanction, the interested party may appeal the decision. According to the text of Law 13.506/2017, which amended Art. 16 of Law 9.613/1998, the competent body for judging this administrative appeal is the CRSFN.
