Reporting Unusual Transactions

Notaries, like other lawyers, have the obligation to keep secret whatever has been entrusted to them. In short time, however, the notaries, will be under the obligation to report certain unusual transactions to a reporting point (Meldpunt). These transactions concern unusual transactions, which have the purpose of or are related to money laundering or financing terrorist activities. The government has prepared a list of cases which must be reported, although the notary might think that they are not unusual, like cash money transactions exceeding certain amounts.
