Martijn van Wees
Martijn van Wees is a Dutch advocate-general known for his legal expertise, particularly in cases involving international law and financial regulations. Recently, he has been in the news for advising the Hoge Raad to reject the cassation appeal from four Surinamese banks regarding a seized sum of €19.5 million suspected of being linked to money laundering. His advice emphasized that the Central Bank of Suriname does not have state immunity in this case, as the seized money belonged to commercial banks rather than the central bank itself.
