2.- For the purposes of the ninth paragraph of article 115 of this Law, the Secretariat,

in the exercise of its attributes, may introduce a person to the list of blocked persons when

it has sufficient indications that it is related to the crimes of financing

arguments.

The Financial Intelligence Unit, ex officio or at the request of a party, may extend in a

for up to the same period.

After the period for the interested party to present evidence and formulate arguments has elapsed, the Financial Intelligence Unit, within fifteen business days following, counted from when the

interested party within ten business days following its issuance.

In the event that the interested party is dissatisfied with the content of the resolution referred to in
