In the investigation, suspicion arose that the owner of this transport company also set up fictitious employment at request. With fabricated data, mortgage loans could be applied for.
The suspicion is that the arrested mortgage advisor played a key role in this.
It is suspected that at least two individuals likely made use of this false information. This duo had already been arrested earlier. The property purchased through this mortgage fraud has been seized.

Money Laundering
In addition to involvement in mortgage fraud, the arrested man from Beek (L) is also suspected of money laundering. Investigations revealed that he may have been involved in securing assets for the previously arrested suspect from Meers in the drug investigation.

Search
The home and business premises of the arrested suspect have been searched. Various digital storage devices, administration, and an exclusive personal car have been seized.

Undermining
The Public Prosecution Service and Police are heavily focused on this form of financial crime. It shows that the upper and underworld are increasingly intertwined. A recognized financial service provider/mortgage broker is expected to fulfill a gatekeeper role. If they then play a key role in fraudulent mortgage applications and engage in money laundering for criminals, it undermines trust in the financial sector.

The suspect has been placed in custody and further arrests cannot be ruled out.
