The Regional Cooperation Team for Criminal Money Flows tracked the man down in a large investigation into a Syrian network involved in Underground Banking. This organization moved large amounts of cash via money couriers.
Previously, 9 men were arrested for this: three men (22, 30, and 46 years old) from Berkel en Rodenrijs, two men (35 and 41 years old) from The Hague, a 35-year-old man from Zoetermeer, a 36-year-old man from Nootdorp, a 53-year-old man from Leidschendam, and a 54-year-old man from Utrecht.

In total, nearly 600,000 euros in cash and four cars were seized in this investigation. The man arrested yesterday was on the run. Until recently, he lived in Bergschenhoek. He eventually reported himself and could therefore be arrested last night, with the help of the Marechaussee, when his flight from Jordan arrived at Schiphol.

Crime should not pay
The Regional Cooperation Partnership for Criminal Money Flows (RSCG) is a collaboration between the police, FIOD, and OM. The team focuses on exposing and disrupting criminal financial structures and seizing criminal (unexplained) assets through short interventions and project-based investigations. Thus, we seize power, status, and criminal assets in Rotterdam and dismantle criminal structures. Because crime should not pay.
