Foreign Exchange Criminal Law
The Argentine foreign exchange regime is one of the most restrictive and frequently changing in the region. Violations can lead to administrative proceedings before the Central Bank, criminal prosecutions before Federal Courts and substantial financial penalties. In a context where the rules of the Single Free Foreign Exchange Market (MULC) change frequently, operating without specialist advice is a real risk.
I advise companies and individuals both in the prevention of foreign exchange violations and in their defence once a dispute has arisen.
My functions in this area:
- Defence in proceedings for violations of the Foreign Exchange Criminal Regime before the Central Bank of Argentina (BCRA)
- Defence in foreign exchange criminal cases before Federal Courts
- Advice on Single Free Foreign Exchange Market (MULC) regulations
- Management and regularisation of international receipts pending entry into the country
- Advice on the entry and exit of foreign currency in foreign trade operations
- Assistance with the liquidation of export proceeds and compliance with regulatory deadlines
- Appeals and representations before the BCRA and the Federal Court of Appeals
When do you need this service?
If your company has received a notification from the BCRA, if you have foreign receipts pending liquidation, if you are being investigated for alleged foreign exchange violations or if you simply want to ensure that your foreign trade operations comply with current regulations — it is time to consult.
