![]() Hennie Verbeek-Kusters has been the head of FIU – the Netherlands since 2008. Under her leadership, the focus of FIU - the Netherlands has shifted to greater cooperation with public and private partners in the fight against money laundering, predicate offences and the financing of terrorism, both nationally and internationally. At the national level, Ms. Verbeek-Kusters is committed to producing high-quality financial intelligence and to putting the possibilities of the financial intelligence system and FIU's unique buffer function on the map. Under Ms. Verbeek-Kusters' leadership, FIU – the Netherlands established the Fintell Alliance, the public-private partnership between FIU-Netherlands and six major banks. In addition, FIU-Netherlands makes a significant contribution to various other collaborations, such as the Financial Expertise Centre (FEC), the Terrorism Financing Taskforce, and the Serious Crime Taskforce. The FIU-Netherlands has received very positive feedback in the 4thround MER of the Netherlands that was concluded in 2022. In recent years, Ms. Verbeek-Kusters has led the Egmont Group of Financial Intelligence Units as Chair, from July 2020 to July 2022 and from July 2017 to July 2019. It was the first time a Dutch head of FIU held this position and the first time since its 25th anniversary the Egmont Group had a female chair. As of July 2022, she has stepped down as Chair, but still serves on the Egmont Group as Board Member of the Egmont Group Secure Web (ESW) Board and as strategic advisor for several Egmont Group projects. Within the Egmont Group, Ms. Verbeek-Kusters was one of the driving forces behind the establishment of the Egmont Center of FIU Excellence and Leadership (ECOFEL), the strategic further development of the Egmont Group and the renewal of the IT platform with which FIUs worldwide exchange information. Achieving concrete results in the fight against money laundering, terrorism financing and predicate offences and increasing the professionalism of FIUs are her main drivers in her everyday work. |
