The new initiative aims to strangle the criminal economy in various ways – for example, through tougher measures to stop incorrect payments from public systems. To stop the abuse of startup jobs, the government wants to limit the employment form. According to representatives, this can be done, for example, by prohibiting the employment of relatives with startup jobs.

As a second measure, the government wants to further strengthen the authorities – such as the Customs Agency, the Enforcement Authority, and the Tax Agency – that actively work against organized crime with various means.

To stop money laundering and corporate crime, the government proposes, for example, that a financial intelligence center be established. Furthermore, the Financial Supervisory Authority will be given resources for increased banking supervision.
