Eight family members arrested for money crimes

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.
