Brazil's Federal Prosecution Service creates cybercrime unit with limited crypto scope

  • —GACCTI was created by Resolution CSMPF No. 267/2026 on October 6
  • —Crypto assets fall under its scope only when tied to cybercrimes
  • —The new unit replaces bodies created by Resolutions No. 229 and 231 of 2024
  • —GACCTI is authorized to take extrajudicial measures in investigations
Why it matters: Brazil is tightening oversight of crypto-related crime while explicitly limiting intervention in lawful crypto transactions.
