  • Money laundering is the process by which illegally generated assets are channelled into the legal economy and removed from the reach of the law enforcement authorities.
  • If you have information about potential or actual violations of the Money Laundering Act (such as non-identification of a contracting party), you can report this as a tip completely anonymously to the responsible supervisory authority.
  • Your tip can contribute to the prevention of money laundering or terrorist financing.
  • However, you must note that reporting via the anonymous whistleblower system is not the same as reporting a reportable suspicious case to the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) located at Customs in accordance with the reporting obligation and ordinance authorization in the Money Laundering Act. In this case, you must report your suspicious case to the FIU. When submitting reports, you are not required to provide any personal information. The report can also be made anonymously.
