Report information on violations in the context of money laundering supervision (whistleblower system)
Description
- Through money laundering, illegally earned assets are smuggled into the legal economic circle and removed from the access of law enforcement authorities.
- If you have information about potential or actual violations of the Money Laundering Act (such as tax evasion), you can report this completely anonymously to the competent supervisory authority.
Your notice may help prevent money laundering or terrorist financing. - However, you must note that reporting via the anonymous whistleblower system is not the same as reporting a reportable suspected case to the Customs Customs Intelligence Unit (FIU) in accordance with the reporting obligation and ordinance authorisation in the Money Laundering Act. In this case, you must report your suspected case to the FIU. When submitting reports, you are not obliged to provide any personal information. The report can also be made anonymously.
