The municipality is increasingly faced with subversive crime. Undermining crime consists of all forms of crime that threaten the integrity of our society. Characteristic of undermining is the intertwining of the upper and underworld. Criminals use legal structures - such as permits, subsidies and government contracts - to carry out criminal activities. As a result, the integrity of the government is compromised. The Bibob Act provides the government with an instrument to protect itself against the risk of compromising integrity.
The Open Government Act (Woo) governs the right to information about everything the government does. It is the successor to the Open Government Act (Wob).
