GFG Brandenburg Fights Money Laundering with 2,000+ Cases in 2023
On September 13, 1999, the 'Agreement on the Establishment of a Joint Financial Investigation Group' was signed by the former Oberfinanzdirektion Cottbus and the Landeskriminalamt Brandenburg. Today, the GFG Brandenburg processes thousands of cases annually, playing a crucial role in combating money laundering in the region.
The GFG Brandenburg, based at the Landeskriminalamt Brandenburg since 1999, processed over 2,000 cases and conducted 200 cash seizures in 2023 alone. It received nearly 1,500 money laundering suspicion reports, highlighting the severity of the issue in the region. The GFG works closely with the Specialist Prosecutor's Office, supervisory authorities, and partner agencies to tackle this crime effectively.
Money laundering involves illegally obtained money or assets being introduced into the legal financial and economic cycle. The GFG, along with the FIU, plays a vital role in investigating these crimes and securing incriminated assets. The GFG has successfully conducted investigations in significant cases, demonstrating its commitment to combating money laundering in Brandenburg.
The GFG Brandenburg, a joint effort between the Customs Investigation Office Berlin-Brandenburg and the Landeskriminalamt Brandenburg, continues to be a robust force in the fight against money laundering. With its successful investigations and close cooperation with various authorities, the GFG ensures that those involved in money laundering face the consequences of their actions.
