Three gold traders are suspected of failure to report dozens of unusual transactions. They also failed to perform the mandatory client surveys. A broker from Gouda remained silent about a transaction involving evidence of mortgage fraud and money laundering.
Entrepreneurs have a reporting obligation when customers perform unusual transaction, like withdrawing or depositing large sums of money, or making large cash payments. Failure to report these is an economic offense.
