Brazil has enacted a new law aimed at combating
organized crime by allowing authorities to confiscate
and sell assets, including cryptocurrency. According
to DLNews, the legislation permits informants to
receive up to 5% of the recovered assets. The
proceeds from these sales are designated for
funding police equipment, training, and special
operations. Additionally, assets linked to drug
trafficking will be allocated to the federal anti-drug
policy fund. The law also increases penalties for
violent criminal organizations, paramilitary groups,
and private militias.
