On 17 March 2022, the Ministry of Security published Resolution 139/2022 in the Official Gazette. This new regulation created the Centro de Investigaciones del Ciberdelito de Alta Tecnología (High-Tech Cybercrime Investigation Centre) within the framework of the programme for strengthening cybersecurity and cybercrime investigation. Resolution 139/2022 sets forth the centre's purposes, actions and structure.
The most relevant aspects of the Centre's activities are the following:
- It must initiate an investigation when there is a presumption of possible criminal activity against computers, information systems and/or computer networks or the potential existence of a criminal organisation.
- It must cooperate in the investigation of crimes against the sexual integrity of children and adolescents allegedly committed through electronic means.
- Its main purpose is to assist the local police and to analyse and propose methods, techniques, tools, processes and protocols to achieve continuous improvement of police action against cybercrime.
