In 2012 the Minister of Security and Justice of The Netherlands announced a recalibration of the Dutch Insolvency Law, especially a multi-disciplinary approach to combat bankruptcy fraud. This announcement has led to several initiatives in practice, for example, the introduction of consulting hours about insolvency fraud during which bankruptcy trustees can seek information from several chain partners (public prosecutor, representative of the tax authority, a supervisory judge and a bankruptcy trustee experienced in combating fraud) to combat the fraud. Several Dutch courts have successful experience with such consulting hours.
