Article 310
The crime of financial intermediation is typified in article 310 of the Penal Code and establishes prison sentences “from one (1) to four (4) years, a fine of two (2) to eight (8) times the value of the operations carried out and special disqualification for up to six (6) years”to everyone who “On its own behalf or on behalf of others, directly or indirectly, I will carry out financial intermediation activities, under any of its modalities, without having the authorization issued by the competent supervisory authority”.
The regulations specify that “Anyone who captures savings from the public in the stock market or provides intermediation services for the acquisition of negotiable securities will incur the same penalty, when they do not have the corresponding authorization issued by the competent authority.”.

The case was anticipated by Profile Cordoba days ago when Wenance was at the center of the controversy after he told his clients that it could not afford to pay the maturities for the investments made.
