The Brazilian House of Representatives approved a new bill: authorizing the freezing of suspected individuals' cryptocurrency balances, with a maximum prison sentence increased to 10 years
According to Livecoins, the Brazilian House of Representatives' Finance and Taxation Committee (CFT) has approved a bill to penalize cyber fraud, authorizing the freezing of cryptocurrency balances of individuals under police investigation, and also proposing amendments to relevant provisions of the Penal Code to increase penalties for cybercriminals.
Crimes committed through social media or phone will face harsher penalties, with those convicted of cyber attacks facing imprisonment of 6 to 10 years, up from the previous 4 to 8 years. Additionally, judges will have the authority to freeze suspects' assets in Bitcoin exchanges and bank accounts. Some preventive measures include freezing physical assets and prohibiting the use of payment systems. The bill will next be submitted to the Constitution and Justice Committee (CCJ) for review, which is expected to be completed in the coming days.
