I know, but my point still stand: someone is innocent until proven guilty.
Seizing somthing only because “there is no way this scumbag can legally afford all this” is nothing different from jailing someone because “there is no way you have not violated some law”.
I am not required to justify myself (in this case: paying something with cash accepted by the state), it is police’s job to prove that the cash I used is obtained illegally, not mine to prove that it is legal.
I undertand that for 10.000 euros or more it is better to use a bank tranfer to pay, less risks for everyone, but assuming that I am a criminal just because I do it don’t really solve the problem.
I agree generally but this isn’t used for small sums. You’re talking hundreds of thousands / millions in highly visible ill gotten gains for it to be deployed.
And I think 10k is a bullshit amount for this new law. People buy cars second hand all the time with cash fully legit.

Ok, but if you need to have hundreds of thousands / millions in highly visible ill gotten gains before you ask “wait, how he is making all this money without working” you have other problems

Every amount you choose is bullshit. Even in Italy that the limit is 5000, paying under the table is not difficult, you just split the payments.
