An Amsterdam court extended by 30 days the pretrial detention of a 38-year-old man from Almere who is suspected of defrauding a bank and laundering criminal money. He was arrested on 28 October and remains in custody.

He is also suspected of forging identity documents and unlawfully obtaining personal data online. The bank reported the case in May 2025 after an internal investigation found that an account had been opened using a false identity document. Investigators suspect that digital methods were used to bypass the bank’s security and verification systems and that the accounts were used to launder criminal funds.
