Spanish term or phrase: (hacer un pago) fuera del circuito "legal"
En la época del famoso corralito y las restricciones para girar dinero al exterior, esta empresa hizo una pago por fuera del circuito "legal", o sea un poco por izquierda. Estoy buscando la forma de ponerlo para que no suena demasiado fuerte, tal vez algo con "formal" para no usar legal?

Ese pago nosotros lo hicimos por fuera del circuito “legal” ya que de otra manera no lo podríamos haber hecho, dado que en aquel momento –por las circunstancias que atravesó Argentina- no se podían hacer giros al exterior
