Aspectos da nova lei de lavagem de capitais (Lei nº 12.683)

Abstract

With the promulgation of Law 12.683 in 2012 Brazil has substantially altered their Anti Money Laundering legal systematic to adapt the country to modern international politics. Among the changes was analyzed, primarily, the deletion of the words "que sabe" (who knows), contained in art. 1, paragraph 2, I, of Law 9.613 / 98. This modification allowed the reopening of the discussions over the possibility of crime incidence with eventual intention (dolus eventualis). From the perspective of criminal law as regards constitutional guarantees, marked by the theory of Luigi Ferrajoli, it sought to verify the possibility of accountability for eventual intent (dolus eventualis). It was traced a historical retrospective and identified up aspects to the protected legal interest and limiting the criminal standard for criminal constitutional guarantees. Then the inicial hypothesis was confirmed and was stated the impossibility of the eventual intention (dolus eventualis) to hold the money laundering practice.
