Federal Police's Division for Combating Financial Crimes

The Brazilian Federal Police Division for Combating Financial Crimes (Divisão de Repressão de Crimes Financeiros - DFIN) investigates money laundering cases.

There are three units of the DFIN in Brasilia, one in São Paulo and one in Rio de Janeiro. Six regional units must be established in order to work closely with the regional specialised courts to investigate and prosecute money laundering cases.

An increasing number of Money Laundering investigations is already registrated in the past years - 124 in 2000, 183 in 2001, 363 in 2003.
