Money Laundering

Since December 2001, money laundering has been criminalized as a separate crime in the Netherlands, allowing people to be prosecuted for money laundering even if they have not been convicted of the original crime from which the money originated. Legislation against money laundering is intended to make it more difficult for criminals to use their money to finance their activities, while at the same time enabling the Public Prosecutor's Office to fight these criminal activities more effectively.

Learn more about money laundering

  • Money laundering is a term used to describe the process of converting illegally obtained money (black money) into money that appears to have been obtained legally (white money). This is usually done by routing the money through various transactions or financial institutions, making the origin of the money more difficult to trace for law enforcement agencies such as tax authorities or prosecutors. Money laundering can involve various types of crimes, including drug trafficking, human trafficking, corruption, fraud and other illegal activities.

     

    Money laundering often requires financial service providers, but sometimes also money couriers or, for example, a stooge. Even financial and legal service providers, such as tax consultants, are at risk of becoming involved in money laundering.

  • If someone is prosecuted for money laundering, the stakes can be high. In addition to (prison) sentences, the prosecution can also try to deprive unlawfully obtained gains. This is popularly known as the plukze law. The financial stakes then quickly mount up. A conviction for money laundering can also have consequences for obtaining a certificate of good conduct, especially if the convicted person wants to (continue to) work in financial services.
