€71 million in suspicious healthcare transactions in East Netherlands

Criminals continue to misuse healthcare funds on a large scale. The Regional Information and Expertise Centre (RIEC) Oost-Nederland, which supports government authorities in tackling organized crime, uncovered cash flows behind suspicious transactions involving at least 71 million euros. RIEC examined suspicious healthcare sector transactions in East Netherlands between 2020 and 2024. Researchers suspect the actual number of suspicious transactions is much higher.
