Former judge goes to jail for 15 years if she tells what is happening illegally in the Netherlands: 'This is downright shocking'
Former chairman of the supervisory authority for the intelligence services (TIB) Mariëtte Moussault opened a heated book last year during a technical briefing in the House of Representatives . She was invited to speak about the Temporary Cyber Operations Act.
Moussault said she could not be complete. In the TIB's annual report, several passages were blacked out because, according to ministers Ollongren and Bruins Slot, they should be classified as state secrets. As a result, many passages are no longer clearly understandable and the TIB cannot inform the House and society as it had intended, said Moussault, who is also a former judge.
Astonishing display
“Very big things are happening in the Netherlands. And I can't tell you how big. It is terribly large, but I am not allowed to inform you. Because I don't want to sit there for 15 years,” she said.
Columnist Marianne Zwagerman spoke of 'a stunning display'. Moussault will go to prison if she honestly tells Parliament and society what the secret services are already doing in the Netherlands, she says. Maurice de Hond also finds it shocking.
Downright shocking
Zwagerman points out that the Netherlands was already ruled by Dick Schoof and the secret services.
“This is downright shocking,” says health scientist Yvonne Simons. “A judge who must keep her mouth shut against the House of Representatives because otherwise she will go to jail for 15 years.”
I didnt understand any of this?
