About Rick 

Rick van ’t Hoff is an experienced expert in financial and economic crime and anti-money laundering (AML). After holding positions with the Dutch Customs Administration and the Tax and Customs Administration, he joined the FIOD — the Fiscal Information and Investigation Service — where he began as an investigator and advanced to project leader and assistant public prosecutor. He worked on complex investigations into customs and tax fraud as well as drug-related crime, in close cooperation with, among others, Dutch Customs, the Port Police and the (former) National Police Agency.

Since 1998, Rick has served as a team leader, managing multidisciplinary teams focused on tax and customs fraud, money laundering, corruption, and later so-called “special cases.” He has worked extensively in project-based collaboration with the Functional Public Prosecutor’s Office, the National Police Unit and various supervisory authorities.

Rick played an instrumental role in embedding anti-money-laundering efforts within the FIOD. What began as a small workstream evolved into a permanent component of every investigative team, while the information team developed into the AMLC — the Netherlands’ leading national authority on money-laundering prevention. His approach is pragmatic and results-oriented, turning complex challenges into clear decisions and actionable steps.
