I have acquired a foreign passport in an Asian country. However my name is 100% matching my EU passport where I still currently live fulltime.
I have a very unique name in my EU country so if anyone just googles it, there will be a 100% hit.

I plan to open now accounts at different exchanges/banks with my Asian passport as they will only report back to the Asian country.

My concerns are:
If I get a Mastercard/Visa connected to the bank/exchanges and spend with the card in my EU country where I live will the government ever find out?
The only way they can find out is if they receive a list of names of all cards used in shops/online (I will never use ATM) and crosscheck them with the population register to find matching names and from there present a list of matching individuals to pin point down their targets.
My records are clean and have always been clean. I also already have a fulltime salary already in my country so I am not at zero income.

I have a lot in crypto resting in coldwallets which I want to use for day-to-day spending and treat myself.

Has above scenario happened anywhere in the past in Europe that you know off where they target a large scale investigation ?
Should I be worried, or is my setup still pretty safe?

OR should I undergo a name change in the Asian country and re-apply for a new passport then before proceeding? (doable but extremely troublesome to do this there).

Completely wrong approach.
