“I’m going to propose going back with all those who made controls against money laundering more flexible,” anticipated the Broad Front candidate.
The presidential candidate of Frente Amplio, Carolina Cosse, He assured that during his eventual administration he would seek to modify some articles of the Urgent Consideration Law (LUC) to tighten controls money laundering and strengthen the fight against drug trafficking.
When asked during an interview in Who’s Who, cosse He maintained that he intends to “go backwards” in some articles of the LUC, considering that they favor the drug sales and they explain part of the drug problem.
“To the extent that the law allows it, I have no doubt that I am going to propose going back with all the articles that made controls against money laundering more flexible,” said the mayor of Montevideo while on leave.
When arguing against the LUC, he asked: “Who benefits from moving $100,000 freely and without any control?” Along these lines, he slipped that “it is not common citizens nor real companies, even if they are not big, because they do things from the right.”
In closing, the FA leader maintained that “drug trafficking is corroding an important part of society” and stated: “Controls against money laundering must be tightened.”
They came to the crossroads from the Colorado Party
Cosse’s position was refuted by the candidate of the Colorado Party, Andrés Ojeda, who through her X account considered that “she is confused.” “It would be good if you told us which articles of the LUC made washing controls more flexible,” Ojeda began.
Then, he assured that the mayor “confuses the modifications to the financial inclusion law with anti-laundering controls, which today are the same as in the governments of the Broad Front”.
It is worth remembering that in the FA program, if you reach the government in the elections 2024 It was decided to “go point by point” with respect to the LUC. “We are clear critics of the 135 articles that we proposed derogate, “But we have to look at reality and see how that evolved in each case, and attack each issue punctually,” said one of the text’s coordinators months ago.
