Council for Financial Activities Control

The Council for Financial Activities Control (Portuguese: Conselho de Controle de Atividades Financeiras - COAF) was created in 1998 "under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Finance, for the purpose of regulating, applying administrative sanctions, receiving pertinent information, examining and identifying suspicious occurrences of illicit activities related to money laundering."[1]

Its organization and structure, as well as its Internal Rules and Regulations, were also defined in a Decree and Administrative Rule respectively, both enacted between October and December 1998.[1]
