Financial criminal law & (tax) Fraud

This branch of criminal law is no less specialized, covering a broad range of punishable behaviour, often described by the Public Prosecution Service as ‘white collar crime'. This category encompasses violations of the supervisory legislation for the financial sector, for example the Credit System (Supervision) Act and the Securities Transactions (Supervision) Act, as well as the criminal use of insider knowledge. Violations of tax law are a very common offence and are pursued vigorously by the Fiscal Intelligence and Investigation Department and the Economic Investigation Service (FIOD-ECD). For the sake of convenience, forgery is also attributed to this branch of criminal law, because it usually forms part of the charge formulated by the prosecuting authority, the FIOD-ECD. BFKW also has a great deal of expertise on the extremely  far-reaching legislation governing the seizure of illegally obtained profit. The same applies to the offence of laundering the proceeds of crime.

Victor Koppe and Stijn Franken both have extensive experience in this specialist area.
