That’s justice minister Ard van der Steur Wednesday to the House in written response to questions from D66 leader Alexander Pechtold. He wanted to know whether the transfer of funds by the prosecution was the criminal offense and that still could be reported.
But when the financing agreement was signed in June 2000, was laundering not punishable. That law only came into force in December 2001.
This type of behavior was then still healing. But then demonstrated that money or property obtained by crime. The settlement and thus the origin of the money are not judged by a court, he said.
Tax
Pechtold also wanted to know whether it was an offense to the Tax deliberately outside the hold or deal and still could be recovered tax money. But that is not possible, according to Van der Steur.
The Minister agrees with the commission Oosting, who was investigating the Teeven deal, that it was wrong not to inform the tax authorities. But because there is no data on criminal Cees H. found in the Tax over the period in question, it is not clear whether attacks could be imposed.
D66 will especially this last reply of the minister ” absolutely insufficient. The Minister must re-do his homework ”
