Se modifica el Régimen de las Personas Expuestas Políticamente

Por medio de la Resolución N° 192/2024 de la Unidad de Información Financiera (la “Resolución” y la “UIF” respectivamente), vigente desde el 10 de diciembre de 2024, la UIF modifica el marco regulatorio sobre el régimen de Personas Expuestas Políticamente (“PEP”).

Respecto a las PEP extranjeras la Resolución dispone que ya no serán consideradas tales quienes desempeñen la función de Subsecretario del Estado, no obstante sí lo serán quienes se desempeñen como Jefe de Estado, Jefe de Gobierno, Gobernador, Intendente, Ministro, Secretario de Estado u otro cargo gubernamental equivalente. 

Respecto a las PEP nacionales, provinciales, municipales o de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires (“CABA”), la Resolución eliminó del Régimen PEP a los siguientes:

  • Al personal del Poder Legislativo de la Nación, con categoría no inferior a la de Director.
  • A los funcionarios de entidades autárquicas, bancos y entidades financieras del sistema oficial, de las obras sociales administradas por el Estado, de empresas y sociedades del Estado y el personal con similar categoría o función, designado a propuesta del Estado en sociedades de economía mixta, sociedades anónimas con participación estatal mayoritaria o en otros entes del sector público.
  • Al funcionario que integre comisiones de adjudicación de licitaciones, de compra o de recepción de bienes y servicios o que participe en decisiones de esas licitaciones o compras.
  • Al funcionario público responsable de administrar un patrimonio público o privado, o controlar o fiscalizar los ingresos públicos cualquiera sea su naturaleza. 
  • Al director o administrador de alguna de las entidades sometidas al control externo del Congreso de la Nación; y
  • Respecto a las organizaciones empresariales a las personas humanas que en función de su cargo: (a) tengan capacidad de decisión, administración, control o disposición sobre el sector público nacional, provincial, municipal o de CABA; (b) realicen actividades con fines de lucro para la organización o sus representados, que involucren la gestión, intermediación o contratación habitual con el Estado nacional, provincial, municipal, o de CABA (manteniéndose como PEP a aquellos miembros de organizaciones sindicales).

The Regime of Politically Exposed Persons is modified

By means of Resolution No. 192/2024 of the Financial Information Unit (the “Resolution” and the “UIF”, after its Spanish acronym, respectively), effective as of December 10, 2024, the UIF amends the regulatory framework on the Politically Exposed Persons (“PEP”) regime.

Regarding foreign PEPs, the Resolution provides that those who perform the function of Undersecretary of State will no longer be considered as such, although those who perform the function of Head of State, Head of Government, Governor, Intendant, Minister, Secretary of State or other equivalent governmental position will be considered as such.

With respect to national, provincial, municipal or City of Buenos Aires (“CABA”, after its Spanish acronym) PEPs, the Resolution eliminated the following from the PEP Regime:

  • To the personnel of the Legislative Branch of the Nation, with a category no lower than Director.
  • Officials of autarchic entities, banks and financial entities of the official system, of social works administered by the State, of State enterprises and corporations and personnel with similar category or function, appointed at the proposal of the State in mixed economy companies, corporations with majority State participation or in other entities of the public sector.
  • The official who is a member of the commissions for the award of bids, purchase or reception of goods and services or who participates in the decision making process of such bids or purchases.
  • The public official responsible for administering public or private assets, or controlling or supervising public revenues, regardless of their nature.
  • The director or administrator of any of the entities subject to the external control of the Congress; and
  • Regarding business organizations, those persons who by virtue of their position: (a) have decision-making, management, control or disposition capacity over the national, provincial, municipal or CABA public sector; (b) carry out profit-making activities for the organization or its representatives, involving management, intermediation or regular contracting with the national, provincial, municipal or CABA State (maintaining as PEP those members of trade union organizations).
