CITATION FROM CICPC? Why the victim is the Financial System 🏛️⚖️
You receive a citation: "Investigation for Money Laundering. Victim: The Financial System". You are outraged: “How can the State be the victim if I am the one being blocked?”. Here is the logic behind it:
1. The State as affected.
For Criminal Law, national banking is a public good. If a criminal moves money from a scam, the law considers that the security of the system has been compromised. The State feels that its pipeline has been contaminated and assumes itself as the main victim in the file.
2. The trap of Triangulation.
You sold cryptos legally, but the bolívares came from a dirty account. For the CICPC, you are the point where the money stopped. Even though you are in the banking trail, you are also a victim because you were used as a bridge to clean funds without your knowledge.
3. Risk of Revictimization.
The system tends to treat you as a suspect and not as someone deceived. First, you lose your money; then, you face a exhausting criminal process. Being in a trail does not make you guilty, but it forces you to prove your good faith.
🛡️ What to do?
Defend your right: You conducted a legitimate trade (Art. 112 CRBV).
Your chats and supports demonstrate that there was no intention to launder money.
Declaring without understanding the triangulation is a mistake. The goal is to prove that the scammer used all of us.
⚖️ Do you need legal support?
If you have a block or want to shield your activity before SUDEBAN or SUNACRIP, count on me.
I offer you:
✅ P2P compliance structures.
✅ Tax guidance and representation before the Public Ministry/CICPC.
