$BTC {spot}(BTCUSDT) 🚨💰 Tabata Amaral proposes a law to punish the illegal use of Bitcoin abroad🚨🤔 Deputy Tabata Amaral presented a new bill in the Chamber of Deputies to tighten the fight against financial crimes that use bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. 📌 What changes with the project? Bill 746/2026 aims to: 🔹 Punish those who send money outside Brazil using cryptocurrencies without legal authorization. 🔹 Hold managers of brokerages accountable who ignore suspicious transactions. 🔹 Increase the penalty for money laundering when it involves virtual assets. 🔹 Allow authorities to request registration data without a court order (without access to detailed bank statements). 🏦 And what about cryptocurrency exchanges? If it becomes law: ⚖️ Directors can be punished if they facilitate or “turn a blind eye” to crimes. ✅ Those who prove they acted in good faith may not be held accountable. 🚫 But those who practice “deliberate blindness” (pretending not to see illegal activity) may face criminal charges. 🚨 Why does she want this? According to the deputy, organized crime is migrating to the digital environment 💻 using cryptocurrencies to hide money. She cites recent investigations and states that the measure helps Brazil follow recommendations from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), an international body that combats financial crimes 🌎. 🏛 What happens now? 📍 The project is still in the early stages. It needs to go through committees, be voted on in the Chamber, then in the Senate, and finally approved by the president. ⏳ This may take months or even years.
