I bought a Golf 7 online a month ago from a VW dealer, my brother paid the deposit, the rest I then transferred a week before I picked up the car myself. Now the seller writes me an e-mail, he needs for the accounting a copy of my brother’s ID card because of any money laundering regulations. I have no problem with this, I see this as a stupid demand. How does money laundering within Germany by bank transfer? And where is it? t that one is obliged to prove himself to be a transferee afterwards?
