Introduction
On June 20, 2022, Law No. 21.459 on computer crimes was published, which incorporates new crimes to Law No. 20.393, which establishes the criminal liability of legal entities.
In effect, criminal liability is extended by incorporating in the catalog of base crimes the crimes of i) attack to the integrity of a computer system, ii) illicit access, iii) illicit interception, iv) attack to the integrity of computer data, v) computer forgery, vi) reception of computer data, vii) computer fraud, and viii) abuse of devices.
Likewise, Law No. 21.459 amended Law No. 19.913, which created the Financial Analysis Unit, by incorporating the above mentioned computer crimes to the criminal offenses that must precede the crime of money laundering.
