Resumen
En el mundo actual, la prevención de delitos – en particular los de naturaleza
financiera – ha pasado de ser un tema de exclusivo dominio estatal y ha ingresado
al ámbito de las empresas privadas. Las instituciones públicas regulan y
supervisan el cumplimiento de sistemas de prevención obligatorios para los privados,
y sancionan su incumplimiento. En el presente caso, la Superintendencia
de Banca, Seguros y Fondos de Pensiones (SBS) a través del Departamento de
Supervisión de la Unidad de Inteligencia Financiera (DS-UIF) evalúa la implementación
del sistema de prevención y gestión de riesgos de lavado de activos
y financiamiento del terrorismo (SPLAFT) en una empresa inmobiliaria: Proyectos
y Construcciones Lugano S.A.C. El problema jurídico se presenta en torno a
si Lugano cometió una infracción administrativa grave, al incumplir con los requisitos
exigidos para el Manual de prevención de lavado de activos y financiamiento
al terrorismo (Manual PLAFT). Para ello, se ha revisado la Resolución
SBS No. 789-2018, Reglamento de gestión de LA/FT, que prevé el caso de las
inmobiliarias. Asimismo, se ha utilizado la Resolución SBS No. 8930-2012, que
contiene el reglamento de infracciones y sanciones en materia de PLAFT, para
los sujetos supervisados por la UIF. Como principal conclusión, se ha determinado
que no solo existe una infracción administrativa grave por el incumplimiento
del contenido mínimo exigido del Manual PLAFT, sino que la falta de aprobación
por parte del directorio demuestra una insuficiente concientización de la empresa
sobre la implementación efectiva de las herramientas principales para identificar
y mitigar los riesgos de LA/FT.
Nowadays, crime prevention – especially financial related crimes - has shifted from being an issue exclusively under the State’s responsibility, to entering the sphere of private entities. Public institutions have adquiere the responsibility to regulate and supervise the compliance of mandatory prevention systems for private entities, and the authority to sanction the cases of non-compliance. In the present case, the Superintendence of Banking, Insurance and Pension Funds (SBS), through the Supervision Department of the Financial Intelligence Unit (DSUIF) evaluates the implementation of the anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (AML/CFT) risk prevention and management system (SPLAFT) in a real-state sector company: Proyectos y Construcciones Lugano S.A.C. The legal issue is wether Lugano committed a serious administrative infraction by failing to comply with the minimum requirements for the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Manual. For that matter, we relied on SBS Resolution No. 789-2018, the AML/CFT Risk Management Regulations, which addresses the case of real estate companies. We also looked at the SBS Resolution No. 8930-2012, which contains the regulations on AML/CFT infractions and sanctions for entities supervised by the DS-UIF. The main conclusion is that not only Lugano committed an administrative infraction due to the company’s failure to meet the minimum mandatory content of the AML/CFT Prevention Manual, but the lack of approval by the Board of Directors showed an insufficient awareness within the company, regarding the effective implementation of the key tools for identifying and mitigating AML/CFT risks.
