Direitos fundamentais sociais e criptomoedas: uma análise da lavagem de dinheiro e da capacidade do sistema de justiça para o seu enfrentamento

This article seeks to examine the intersection between the realization of fundamental social rights and the exponential growth of the cryptocurrency market, focusing on money laundering and the capacity of the justice system to address it. Thus, it analyzes the technical aspects that support the use of cryptocurrencies as a tool for the practice of the crime of money laundering, the impacts on the financial system and on fundamental social rights, highlighting the urgent need for preventive and repressive measures by the State in view of the significant criminal and social consequences associated with this form of crime. Using a bibliographic review, which is a fundamental step in the development of academic works, it dealt with a systematic and careful survey of previously published materials on a given topic, with the objective of synthesizing knowledge, identifying gaps in the theoretical framework and supporting new investigations. It is concluded that, as money laundering impacts the country's entire economy, encourages crime and negatively influences the collection and subsequent application of public resources, the need to tackle the most varied forms of money laundering is evident.
