The owner of the administrator’s office from Diever may have committed fraud. A report has been filed against the man.

The office in question, Financial Care Consultants Northern Netherlands (FZNN), managed financial affairs for people who were unable to do so themselves, such as patients or people with an intellectual disability. It reports that Dagblad van het Noorden.

A preliminary investigation shows that almost 200,000 euros was transferred from client bank accounts to the bank accounts of the company owner. The man denies that he was consciously guilty of self-enrichment. According to him, the problems at FZNN were caused by ‘negligence and too few control actions’.

As a result of the investigation, the office was dismissed from all 118 cases that fall under the supervision of the Northern Netherlands court. In these cases, FZNN was appointed by the judge as administrator, curator or mentor for people who are unable to manage their financial affairs themselves. The president of the Northern Netherlands court has also reported forgery and embezzlement.

The 118 cases will be temporarily taken over by Kompas and Minerva Mentorschap from Zuidlaren.
