Senator Edgardo Ortuño pointed out against the law of urgent consideration, which allowed the transactional limits to be increased.
He Broad Front (FA) seeks to reduce the limits of financial transactions to prevent illicit money from circulating from the drug traffickingwhich, they claim, could be easily “laundered” thanks to the high transactional limits of up to $150,000 that were enabled after the approval of the urgent consideration law (LUC).
He Broad Front senator Edgardo Ortuño He told Telemundo in the last few hours that since the Artistic Side They require self-criticism on the part of the government in terms of security, and in the collateral consequences of some points of the LUC.
“The government did not comply, nor did recess end, nor was the security issue resolved,” said Ortuño, who added that his political force “is going to insist at the parliamentary level with the fight against drug trafficking“.
According to the opposition leader, reducing the limits on transactions would mean “hitting where it hurts most” to the drug traffickingwhich is “the economy of crime.”
Ortuño asserted that his space studies the possibility of reducing transactions, which allow “the movement of dirty money obtained through drugs,” and that “this means that the modification made in the LUC to raise “The limits for making transactions without controls are $150,000.”
“We must lower the limits so that drug traffickers cannot buy high-end cars and properties”
“We have to substantially lower those limits to prevent drug traffickers from being able to buy high-end cars, buy properties and (make) other movements that are usually used to launder the dirty money obtained in drugs.”
Within the historic space of the FA they understand that this point of the LUC favored drug traffickers and facilitated their actions to launder their millionaire profits. “Unfortunately they were favored with the LUC, which greatly lowered controls,” concluded the FA legislator.
