Eight family members arrested for money crimes
Thursday 18 March 2010
A couple and six of their seven children have been held in custody since December on suspicion of bank card fraud and money laundering, the Parool reports on Thursday.
The couple, four adult sons and two daughters, lived in Slotervaart in Amsterdam. Only the 15-year-old youngest son is still at liberty.
In total, the family is believed to have netted over €435,000 from its illegal activities, which included posing as postal delivery workers.
A raid on the family home in December uncovered €135,000 in cash, hidden in dresses belonging to the female members of the gang.

Monday: Between 2º and 5º with light snow or sleet. Around zero at night. Similar Tuesday
The family that commits crime together, goes to prison together. They deserve what they get. I guess I feel a little bit sorry for the 15 year old, but not much. I'm sure he/she knew what was going on and profited from it.
