  The Anti-Money Laundering Law assigns information and control duties to certain private sector entities, such as banks, agents, stock exchanges and insurance companies, according to the regulations of the UIF, and for financial entities, the Central Bank.
 Financial entities must inform the UIF about any suspicious or unusual transaction, or transactions lacking economic or legal justification, or that are unnecessarily complex. In addition, guidelines and internal procedures were created to detect unusual or suspicious transactions, which must be implemented by financial institutions and other entities.
 Pursuant to the same criteria that underlies the aforementioned law, in 2012, the office of the Attorney General issued Resolution No. 914/12, which created the PROCELAC. As PROCELAC has no competence to apply sanctions, its main role is to collaborate with the federal prosecutors in the investigation of crimes and in receiving complaints in order to initiate preliminary investigations.
 The UIF issued Resolution No. 156/2018, subsequently amended by, among others, Resolutions No. 117/2019, No. 112/2021, No. 50/2022, No. 14/2023, No. 78/2023, No. 126/2023 and No. 132/2023 (“AML in the Capital Market Sector”). The AML in the Capital Market Sector establishes certain procedures that must be followed by the authorized agents of the CNV involved in the placement, intermediation and public offering of securities (the “Obliged Subjects in the Capital Market Sector”) in order to prevent, detect and report (within the deadlines established) the acts, transactions or omissions that may arise from committing money laundering and terrorist financing crimes in the capital market sector. Additionally, the AML in the Capital Market Sector introduced general guidelines to identify different types of customers (including a distinction between frequent, casual and inactive customers), the requested information, the documentation to be kept and the procedure to detect and report all suspicious transactions within the established deadlines.
 The main obligations pursuant to the AML in the Capital Market Sector are the following: (i) to prepare manuals providing the mechanisms and procedures for the prevention of money laundering and financing of terrorism; (ii) to appoint a compliance officer; (iii) to audit regularly; (iv) to provide training programs
