Act money laundering action plan
(Wet plan van aanpak witwassen)
The Dutch legislative proposal for the Act money laundering action plan (Wet plan van aanpak witwassen) was adopted by the Senate (Eerste Kamer) on 10 June 2025. The objective of the proposal is to increase the effectiveness of supervision and compliance with anti-money laundering legislation and strengthen detection and prosecution.
The proposal originally comprised four parts. However, in the final version the only part of the proposal that remains is a ban for professional or commercial traders of goods to carry out transactions of €3,000 or more in cash in or from the Netherlands. The ban does not apply to transactions between individuals in their private capacity.
The Act will enter into force at a time to be determined by Royal Decree.
