Subversive crime is represented by an underworld and legitimate business that are becoming increasingly intertwined. It involves 'damaging' the integrity of public administration and the business community. This could take the form of criminals bribing administrators or officials, for example. Or coercing entrepreneurs to help with criminal activities. Or threaten judges, journalists and others in authority.
Subversive crime involves misusing legal assets such as access passes, buildings, businesses or permits for criminal activities. This is how legitimate business and the underworld (criminal activities) become intertwined. Subversive crime can damage confidence in government, among other things.
The government is committed to a robust approach to subversive crime with various enforcement agencies working together. Through our work, we contribute to this fight: we stop things like drugs and weapons and we keep an eye on money flows that could point to money laundering. We also work in all kinds of partnerships against subversive crime. They include the National Cooperation against Subversive Crime (NSOC). Our knowledge of goods flows, trade routes, logistics locations and smuggling methods is extremely valuable.
