On January 18, 2021, the Attorney General's Office (Ministerio Publico) ordered the creation of 14 offices of the Specialized Unit for the Fight against Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing, aiming to give the unit national coverage. The unit is competent to identify the techniques used by the perpetrators of punishable acts of money laundering and terrorist financing, as well as the structures and schemes they use to hide the illicit origin of the funds and the flow of assets involved.

In turn, the Attorney General's Office appointed a Public Prosecutor with vast experience to head up the Specialized Units in Economic Crimes, Anti-Corruption, Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing, who will be in charge of coordinating the work of criminal prosecution of the punishable acts related to these activities.
