The UIF analyzes the information received from entities that have the obligation to report suspicious activities or operations and, as the case may be, inform the Public Ministry to carry out the investigations that may be considered relevant or necessary.

The UIF analyzes the information it receives and informs the Public Prosecutor as to whether it should carry out any investigations. Once the information is received, the UIF may request additional information and undertake any action it deems useful for the fulfillment of its functions. In the context of the analysis, respondents may not rely on bank, tax, stock or professional secrecy, or contractual confidentiality commitments to oppose a request for information from the UIF. Once the analysis is completed, the UIF is empowered to (i) receive voluntary declarations, which in no case may be anonymous, (ii) require the collaboration of all State information services, which are required to provide it in the terms of the current procedural regulations, (iii) request the Public Prosecutor’s Office to require the competent judge to resolve the suspension of execution of any transaction, (iv) request the Public Prosecutor’s Office to require search warrants it deems useful for the investigation, (v) request the Public Ministry to manage all the legal means necessary to obtain information from any source or origin, and (vi) apply sanctions.
