Dennis van der Wolk

Registeraccountant (RA), Customs Administration of the Netherlands

Dennis van der Wolk is a TBML expert within the National Targeting Centre/Douane Landelijk Tactisch Centrum. In this role he carries out pre-investigations (both national and international), phenomenon and operational analyses based on Customs data and (external) information. From the start of the ‘Multidisciplinair Interventie Team (MIT) till the end of the ‘Nationale Samenwerking tegen Ondermijnende Criminaliteit (NSOC)’ Dennis was appointed as Single Point of Contact (SPOC) on behalf of the Dutch Customs. Within MIT and NSOC he also focussed on prevention and detection of Trade Based Money Laundering (TBML).

Since January 2023, Dennis established a taskforce with the Anti Money Laundering Centre (AMLC). This taskforce is aiming to detect TBML and prevent TMBL. In a so called Know-Your-Sector approach we work together with different public authorities and private sectors (PPS) in the Netherlands and abroad to prevent TBML. He also provides TBML prevention trainings for both public and private trainings. In January 2024, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) requested Dennis  to be part of their Global Programme against Money Laundering, Proceeds of Crime and Financing of Terrorism (GPML). Since that time, he has advised UNODC on their TBML training program and  trains on behalf of UNODC, public authorities in non-Western countries to prevent and detect TBML. Beside that, Dennis works together with UNODC and the World Bank to create a TBML risk analyses tool.
