You can inform the competent supervisory authority in a targeted manner about information on potential or actual violations of the Money Laundering Act (GwG).

Money laundering is the smuggling of illegally obtained money or illegally acquired assets into the legal financial and economic cycle.

When submitting a report, you are not obliged to provide personal details. The report can also be made anonymously.

If you provide information about your identity, this will of course be treated confidentially. Pursuant to Section 53 (3) AMLA, the supervisory authorities will only disclose the identity of a person who has submitted a report if they have previously obtained the express consent of this person or if disclosure of the information is required by law in the context of further investigations or subsequent administrative or court proceedings or if disclosure is ordered by a court order or in court proceedings.

In addition to the possibility of submitting a report, it is also possible to contact the competent authority in advance (for contact details, see "Competent authority"). Information can be found on the website of the supervisory authority.

at least: Suspicion of money laundering in a game of chance

if available: Evidence of the incident

none

After you have submitted a report of potential or actual violations of the Money Laundering Act to the competent supervisory authority, it will be reviewed by the supervisory authority. The method of transmission (post, e-mail, whistleblower system) depends on the competent authority (see below under "Responsibility").

The report can be submitted anonymously.

The transmission is strictly confidential. Reports can only be viewed by the responsible employees of the supervisory authority.

If you have opened a communication channel, the supervisory authority may contact you and inform you of the next steps.
