  • —Brazil has taken part in eight joint investigative teams, including Operation Eredità with Italy
  • —The meeting gathered representatives from 22 countries to discuss new capital-movement technologies
  • —Brazil's MPF created Gaeco to support complex organized-crime cases
  • —The network released a guide for investigations in border zones and ports
Why it matters: Tighter international tracking of crypto assets raises the risk of seizures for illicit flows and signals a broader Latin American crackdown on crypto-enabled crime.
