An inspection was held on the grounds of Royal FloraHolland in Aalsmeer on Thursday, August 29.
The purpose of this check is to counter criminal interference in the floriculture sector, which is attractive to criminals because of the many (inter)national transport movements.
The Amsterdam Police Unit and the National Expertise and Operations Unit, together with Customs, the Dutch Labor Inspectorate and Platform Veilig Ondernemen (PVO), conducted the integral check.
This was done in cooperation with Royal FloraHolland and the Weerbare Sierteeltsector approach.

Results of checks

During the inspection day, 29 trucks were subjected to an integral inspection.
In the process, one driver was warned for not displaying a permit.
Furthermore, several companies were visited to hold preventive and informative talks with employees and raise awareness.
The inspection resulted in several concrete signals of criminal interference.
Therefore, a follow-up inspection or further investigation will take place at a number of companies.
The Dutch Labor Inspectorate is conducting follow-up investigations in three cases.
In addition, a fine was issued for a person who was working while receiving benefits.
