Approach to Criminal Money Flows
All financial movements stemming from crime are called criminal money flows. Criminals need the legal society to make their illegally obtained money appear legitimate. They use various methods, such as:
- Buying real estate or expensive cars with cash
- Setting up trade instructions or fake companies to move money
- Establishing care companies and sending invoices for non-existent care
- Reporting fake jobs, using shadow administrations, etc.
Together with various agencies and sectors, we have joined forces to detect, stop, and prevent criminal money flows.
Report suspicions of money laundering
Do you suspect something is illegal? For example, is there a shop, company or restaurant in your area that is rarely open, where almost no one is present and you can only pay cash? That may indicate money laundering. Report your suspicion to the police via 0900 - 8844. Prefer to report anonymously? You can do so via Report Crime Anonymously, call 0800 – 7000. Your information can be the start of an investigation or the missing puzzle piece to solve a case.
