Abstract

This report presents the main findings of a research project into System Risk Indication
(SyRI), which is an anti-fraud detection system. Governmental institutions in the Netherlands
may cooperate in so-called intervention teams to detect tax and allowance fraud and noncompliance with labour regulations. They may request to use SyRI for this purpose. This
report answers two research questions:
1. To what extent does SyRI comply with data protection principles based on Council of
Europe and European Union law?
2. What are the risks that follow from (partial) non-compliance with data protection
principles based on Council of Europe and European Union law?
