The European Union is in danger of \u201ccriminalising\u201d the use of physical cash with its new anti-money laundering laws, an MEP has warned.<\/p>\n

Dr Gunnar Beck, a representative for the populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, has warned that the EU appears to be pushing for the \u201ccriminalisation\u201d of the use of physical cash with its new anti-money laundering (AML) laws.<\/p>\n

Politicians in Brussels have long been pondering an upper legal limit on the value of cash transactions within the bloc, with lawmakers detailing plans to ban Europeans from spending over \u20ac10,000 in physical tender as part of a single transaction.<\/p>\n

\n

The European Parliament however has now voted for such a\u00a0proposed limit<\/a>\u00a0to be dropped down to as little as \u20ac7,000 as part of efforts to clamp down on money laundering and tax dodging within the bloc, with officials also voting to see cryptocurrency transactions paying for goods and services that are valued over \u20ac1,000 to be banned.<\/p>\n

Many within the parliament appear to be\u00a0justifying<\/a>\u00a0the decisions as being an important step in curtailing criminality within Europe, though Dr Beck warns that the limits on cash payments now appear to have gone too far.<\/p>\n

In a statement to Breitbart Europe, Beck emphasised that while the AfD welcomed additional efforts to tackle money laundering and terrorist financing, it rejected the parliament\u2019s call for cash transactions to be curtailed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
