Basis
- Law n.º 9.613/1998 (Planalto, in Portuguese): 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.
