Anzeige des Verdachts auf Geldwäsche oder Terrorismusfinanzierung

Terrorist financing is used to finance terrorist organizations through legal sources and funds acquired through criminal acts, e.g. money laundering. Money laundering is used to smuggle illegally obtained money into the legal financial and economic cycle.

On the basis of the Money Laundering Act (GwG), special obligations are imposed on the so-called "obligated parties" from the non-financial sector, i.e. companies and individuals, to make their business relationships and business activities transparent. The aim is to prevent transactions with a criminal background and to uncover these with the help of the obliged entities.
