Dutch prosecutors confiscated a record €433 million in criminal assets last year, marking the fourth consecutive year of increases. This figure includes money and goods, bringing the total assets under management by the Public Prosecution Service to €2.9 billion. While a portion of the seized assets was in cryptocurrency (€18.3 million), the focus remains on disrupting money laundering networks. Investigations reveal complex schemes involving international financial hubs like Dubai and China, exemplified by a ketamine trafficking case laundering over €13.6 million through various methods. The Public Prosecution Service aims to deter crime by ensuring it is not profitable, focusing on dismantling criminal networks and preventing reinvestment in illegal activities. These seizures often uncover related crimes such as tax fraud and labor exploitation, highlighting interconnected criminal operations.
