Have you ever wondered what happens with old F16s...
... once the Ministry of Defense has purchased new fighter jets?
Or with a seized car?
That is what the State Property Service Moveable Goods...
... DRZ for short, is responsible for.
DRZ processes two types of goods on behalf of the national government:
Redundant public assets, and seized assets.
Redundant assets are assets that are no longer being used...
... by the national government.
DRZ sells these goods or the raw materials extracted from them.
The revenue is returned to the national government.
Redundant assets can also be offered for repurposing.
The repurposing of furniture, for example...
... saves the national government millions of euros a year.
In the case of seized assets, the public prosecutor, Dutch Tax Authorities...
... or judge will decide what DRZ should do with them:
Store, destroy, return to the owner or sell.
DRZ facilitates the sales process at domeinenrz.nl...
... or through an external auction house.
The revenue is used to pay any fines or tax debt, or to compensate any victims.
In the case of assets that were purchased with funds gained from illegal activities...
... the revenue is forwarded to the treasury.
This is how DRZ contributes to an efficient and effective Public Service operation.
And we save tax money that can be put to use somewhere else.
