Court of Audit Criticizes Van Weel Over Unprocessed Reports: 'Misled Parliament'
The Dutch Court of Audit states that Justice Minister David van Weel misled the House of Representatives regarding thousands of unprocessed serious crime reports. While Van Weel claimed most cases were merely notifications, the audit reveals only 10 percent were, with many investigations halted due to capacity shortages at the police or Public Prosecution Service. The Court criticized the minister for using a small subset of sex crime cases to generalize about all ten thousand unhandled reports, noting this misrepresentation denies victims justice.
