Dutch authorities raid biodiesel marketer suspected of fraud

November 30, 2020 |

In the Netherlands, a company suspected of marketing biodiesel with forged certificates is once again under the eye of the Human Environment and Transport Inspectorate (ILT). Due to large-scale fraud, biodiesel that is not produced sustainably is registered as a sustainable fuel, providing the fraudsters with great financial gain. 

Digital data carriers and company files were seized on November 3 during a search in the east of the country at a business location and in various residential houses. No arrests have been made, which will be handled in a new criminal investigation by the Intelligence and Investigation Service (IOD) of the ILT. The criminal investigation is led by the Functional Public Prosecutor’s Office of the Public Prosecution Service.
