About this statute

This provision identifies Law 1357 of 2009, which modifies the Penal Code. This provision criminalizes collecting money from the public in a mass and habitual way without prior authorization and sets prison and fine penalties. Whoever has collected public funds and does not return them faces prison and a fine. Certain officers and employees of financial institutions or savings-and-credit cooperatives commit an offence if they omit required cash-control mechanisms to hide illicit money origins. Certain entities under UIAF control must report cash transactions, cash movement, or cash storage; deliberate failure to report is punished.
