12 Feb 2026 Louis Vuitton BVOM: €500,000 penalty order for Louis Vuitton BV over inadequate customer checks NetherlandsCustomer due diligence €500,000

The Openbaar Ministerie (OM, Dutch Public Prosecution Service) imposed a penalty order of 500,000 EUR on the Dutch Louis Vuitton BV for breaches of the Wwft (Dutch Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act) because, over a long period, the company did not sufficiently check who the customers were who repeatedly spent large amounts in cash. The case arises from ongoing money laundering proceedings in which, according to the OM, a buyer spent a total of more than 2 million EUR of criminal proceeds under various names on luxury goods in shops such as those of Louis Vuitton between August 2021 and February 2023 and sent the bags to China for resale; a then sales employee allegedly helped her and warned her whenever she was about to spend more than 10,000 EUR a month through one of her customer accounts. The OM settled the matter out of court to free up scarce hearing capacity at the Rechtbank Rotterdam (Rotterdam District Court).

What organisations can take from it

Luxury retailers must spot repeated cash purchases by the same person under different names and make staff aware of attempts to circumvent reporting thresholds.
