Approach to Criminal Money Flows
All financial movements originating 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, maintaining 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 neighborhood that is rarely open, almost never has customers, and only accepts cash? That could indicate money laundering. Report your suspicion to the police via 0900 - 8844. Prefer to report anonymously? You can do so via Meld Misdaad Anoniem, call 0800 – 7000. Your information can be the start of an investigation or the missing piece that solves a case.
