NOS22 September · 17:511 day ago

The Public Prosecution Service in the Netherlands has requested a twelve-year prison term for a 48-year-old Amsterdam municipal employee accused of corruption, computer fraud, and complicity in serious violent incidents. The official allegedly accessed personal data over 600 times, leading to at least 95 attacks including explosions and shootings. Two 'information brokers' face ten-year sentences each for facilitating the leaks. Victims described severe trauma during court hearings, while prosecutors emphasized that the known cases represent only a fraction of the total misuse.
