This morning, police arrested four individuals in connection with an investigation into drug production and trafficking, as well as large-scale money laundering. In North Brabant, Gelderland, and Limburg, 29 residences and commercial properties are currently being searched.
Authorities are looking for cash, luxury goods, administrative records, and data storage devices. The investigation centers around a company in Venray.
The police initiated the investigation at the end of 2023 due to suspicions of money laundering and fraud. The company is alleged to have used criminal funds from drug trafficking to offer competitive pricing.
The police have not disclosed the type of business involved, but salaries were reportedly partially paid in cash, and false invoices were allegedly issued. The arrested suspects include two men aged 41 and 39 from Eindhoven, among them the company owner, as well as a 43-year-old man from the municipality of Horst aan de Maas and a 53-year-old woman from Venray, according to police statements.
