Brazil Entered Into Agreement with the United Kingdom Against Money Laundering

Brazil and United Kingdom signed an agreement for criminal law cooperation. With this agreement, both countries will exchange information and support documents. The objective is to hinder the launder of money, one of the most sophisticated conducts of the organized crime. The agreement will allow the cooperation against tax evasion and, in some cases, the repatriation of such illegal money even before the final court decision is issued. Records and documents can also be exchanged and attached as support documents in law suits. The agreement, after its signature, will be sent to the National Congress for appreciation.
