• Bio:

  After earning a bachelor’s degree in business, finance, and law from Hogeschool InHolland, Marsel was trained as an expert-level document specialist by The Royal Marechaussee in the Netherlands. He began his career with the department of the municipality of Amsterdam responsible for the initial registration of new citizens, primarily from abroad.

  He later joined the Team Identity Fraud (TIF), a collaboration between the municipality of Amsterdam and the Amsterdam police aimed at combating and preventing identity fraud in the city. The team provides training, advice, and conducts research on identity fraud. The team's formation was triggered by a significant event on October 4, 1994, when an EL AL Boeing 747 cargo aircraft crashed into two apartment buildings in Amsterdam Bijlmermeer. In the aftermath, the city government called for survivors to come forward for registration. The unexpectedly high number of undocumented individuals seeking registration led to the creation of TIF.
