FERNANDES, Alessandro. Building a regional regulatory agenda on money laundering: challenges and opportunities for Parlasur. Rev. secr. Trib. perm. revis. [online]. 2025, vol.13, n.22, e562.  Epub 22-Oct-2025. ISSN 2304-7887.  https://doi.org/10.16890/rstpr.a13.n22.e562.

Abstract: The article analyzes the possibility of the Mercosur Parliament (Parlasur) exercising a normative role in the prevention of money laundering, based on a comparative study of the European Union's anti-money laundering directives. It starts from the premise that tackling transnational financiais crimes requires coordinated regulatory mechanisms at regional level. It examines the structure and powers of Parlasur, the legal limits of its action and the feasibility of adopting instruments similar to the European ones. A qualitative methodology is used, with normative and documentary analysis, in order to assess the political-legal feasibility of regulatory harmonization in Mercosur. The conclusion is that, although there are institutional challenges, it is legally possible and politically advisable to move forward with the construction of regional normative instruments, even in the form of soft law.

Palabras clave : Regional integration; Mercosur; Parlasur; Money laundering; European Union.
