The FIOD has launched an investigation after reports from banks of striking cash deposits and withdrawals. In the period 2017 to 2019, more than 200,000 euros in cash was deposited in the suspect’s business and private bank accounts, after which large amounts were withdrawn in cash again.
During the investigation, the suspicion arose that the man did have income, but did not report it. He may also not have paid sales tax for his business. The origin of the cash appears to be turnover, but is under further investigation.
The man also incorrectly used the name of a FIOD employee to reinforce his WhatsApp and email messages to third parties and to instill trust. The investigation is led by the Functional Parquet.
