In the Netherlands, local press reports that the owner of Biodiesel Kamper, his wife and the company’s accountant were all sentenced to jail time or community service for money laundering and/or fraud. The used cooking oil-based biodiesel producer’s financial director was acquitted, however. The company also has to pay a fine of EUR400,000, less than half of the original sentence. Most of the sentences have been commuted in part. As a result, the public prosecutor is likely to seek an appeal.
