Man (24) held for money laundering: Pokémon cards and gold fake Kalashnikov seized
At the beginning of this month, the police arrested a 24-year-old man from Uithoorn on suspicion of phishing and money laundering. When searching his home, the police came across several valuable and special objects, which were seized.
The man was arrested on February 1 after months of investigation. According to investigators, he would be responsible for sending large numbers of phishing emails and managing phishing websites. He is also suspected of possessing one or more prohibited weapons and money laundering.
Pokémon cards in safe
Police also seized an unknown number of Pokémon cards. The cards are estimated to be worth around 11,000 euros and were in a safe. Justice is investigating the possibilities of classifying the cards as criminal assets, which is not yet possible.
The police warn never to respond to texts or emails asking for PIN codes or other codes. The request to send bank cards should also always be ignored.
