Saxon Finance Minister Christian Piwarz (CDU) has spoken out in favor of a stronger fight against money laundering and also sees experts such as tax auditors as having a duty in this regard. They have a deeper insight into companies and their experience is needed to detect money laundering, explained the minister at the anniversary of the Saxon tax audit in Meissen.
Tax audits should include an eye for tax law and money laundering
"If we don't want criminal gangs that finance themselves through money laundering to become more firmly established, we must take joint and decisive action against them," emphasized the minister. To this end, it is essential that the law enforcement authorities and tax investigators receive all the necessary information. During tax audits, both the tax law perspective and the money laundering perspective must be applied.
