A 32-year-old employee of the Koninklijke Marechaussee has been sentenced to two years in prison, of which ten months are suspended. According to a public news report, he sold confidential police data to third parties in exchange for money and cocaine.
The military chamber of the court imposed the sentence on Monday. The employee from Spijkenisse is said to have accessed data in police systems without permission for years and passed some of it on to two co-defendants.
According to the report, he received money and cocaine for the information. The court is said to have ruled that he shared the data frequently and recklessly, thereby creating risks for those involved and for society.
In addition to the prison sentence, the man was given a five-year ban on working for the government. The available report does not state which specific systems or people were affected by the information provided.
The case is relevant to the security of police and judicial data. Employees with access to such systems can cause serious harm when checks on access and disclosure are inadequate.
A public ruling by the court or a separate report from the Public Prosecution Service could not be found in this search. As a result, the details of the judgment cannot yet be independently verified; the reporting has therefore been marked as insufficiently substantiated.
