Martim Bouza Serrano, CCA law firm's Partner, in statements to the magazine Sábado, comments the alleged illegal financing scheme of the 2011 Presidential elections, in which more than a dozen suspects were already identified by the DCIAP.

"The limitation period for the criminal framework for this type of crime is five years, and it begins on the date on which the fact was consumed" says Martim Bouza Serrano about the crime of illegal financing that has been prescribed since 2016. For this reason, the Public Prosecutor's Office is exploring the possibility of associating it with other offenses punishable by higher penalties, such as qualified tax evasion and money laundering, for which the limitation periods have been increased to 10 and 15 years respectively.
