Brazil Signs Law No. 15,358 to Route Seized Crypto Into Public Security Funding

Brazil enacted Law No. 15,358, expanding the use of digital assets seized in criminal cases. The law allows confiscated crypto assets linked to crimes to be used to fund public security agencies, including police equipment, training, and special operations. It also permits judges to seize, freeze, and liquidate digital assets, with proceeds from early sales directed to federal or state public security funds. In addition, the measure provides for cross-border cooperation on investigations and asset recovery, adding an international enforcement component to Brazil’s anti-organized crime framework involving crypto.
