The audacious and perceptive offenders look to technology and advances in the contemporary world for ways to appropriate capital and values ​​for their own benefit, harming the population. This is because these are amounts that, not being legally informed, are diverted without due collection of taxes, fees and other charges established by current tax legislation. The study is based on the following question: How COAF acts Money laudering crimes? In order to answer the proposed question, the research carries out a theoretical analysis of the crime of money laundering, addressing its historical and legal aspects and, simultaneously, verifies the performance of the Financial Activities Control Council (COAF) in monitoring suspicious activities.
