Over deze site
Op deze site publiceer ik artikelen en signaleer ik ontwikkelingen op het gebied van de privatisering van de misdaadbestrijding naar onder meer banken (‘witwasbestrijding’). Ik besteed aandacht aan enige andere onderwerpen uit het financiële recht en aan de invloed van digitalisering op de maatschappij en recht, zoals gegevensbescherming, privacy en digitale beïnvloeding. Verder maak ik uitstapjes naar andere onderwerpen, zoals het ondernemingsrecht.
