Gold bar and luxury cars among items seized in raids amid tax evasion probe

Authorities have seized a gold bar, luxury cars, dozens of paintings, property, jewellery and bank accounts as well as data from thousands of account holders.

Dutch authorities have carried out raids in multiple countries as part of an investigation into tax evasion and money-laundering via an unidentified Swiss bank.

The Dutch national tax administration said it suspects funds worth several million euro have been hidden from authorities.
