Belgian Finance Minister's Tax Fraud Unit Draws Criticism from APD

Belgium's federal government approved a draft law to create the Directorate of Tax Investigations (DIF), an elite unit within the Special Tax Inspection, aimed at combating organized crime and money laundering. The tax administration (APD) has criticized the project, citing concerns over its implementation or scope. The initiative is a priority for Finance Minister Jan Jambon, but its operational impact remains uncertain amid institutional pushback.
