Wilders: Put in Police Complaints about Labor Party Leaders

Five thousand people have submitted complaints to the police about Geert Wilders’ remarks that there should be less Moroccans in the Netherlands. Thereupon, Wilders has called on his supporters to submit complaints against Labor Party leader Samson, who is quoted as having said that Moroccans have an “ethnic monopoly” on causing a nuisance. Labor Party Chairman Spekman has said that he wants Moroccans who cause nuisances, “to be humiliated in the eyes of their own people.”

Dutch Government Finances Studies of Jihadis in Syria

Part of the Dutch Jihadi fighters in Syria receive governmental “study financing.” The National Coordinator of Counterterrorism and Safety (NCTV) investigated how big this group is and whether it is possible to do anything about it. In practice, it turns out that this is very difficult however. On the other hand, all social security payments to known jihadists have been stopped. (There are about 100 Dutch Jihadists presently in Syria.)

Minister of Justice Allegedly Misled Parliament

Minister Opstelten of Justice has misinformed Parliament about a whitewash deal which his Deputy Fred Teeven closed with the major drug dealer, Cees H. This was said by Piet Doedens, who was then the lawyer of the drug dealer. Opstelten said in Parliament that 1.25 million Guilders were paid to the drug dealer. Doedens says that the amount was 5 million. Teeven was Prosecutor at the time. Cees H. was one of the leaders of the infamous Octopus Network, which inter alia shipped several tons of hashish from Pakistan. After he was condemned, the authorities tried to put their hands on his money obtained from crime. When this failed, an arrangement was made – the state received 750,000 Guilders. The criminal got back 5 million. Also, Jan-Hein Kuijpers, the current lawyer of Cees H., confirms this deal. Doedens says that Cees H. also received back several buildings, a yacht, exclusive cars and jewels after the deal with the authorities.

Municipal Counselor: Moroccan Demonstrators are a ‘Ticking Bomb’

“The group of Moroccans which demonstrated last week against the jeweler’s wife who killed two robbers is a ‘ticking bomb,’ said former Labor Party Municipal Counselor in Eindhoven, Mustapha Abbou. According to him, the group of demonstrators has no perspective in life and is in the order of magnitude of several tens to a hundred. Most have dropped out of school, but there are also youths among them who have studied in university.

At home, they are under pressure to work or go to school, but the Labor Exchange doesn’t even register them. He said that the municipality has to develop a plan and dialogue with the imams and not with the mosque leaders. They listen to the imams, who preach on a weekly basis.

Deputy Minister Condemns Demonstrations by Friends of Killed Robbers

Deputy Minister Fred Teeven of Security and Justice condemned the demonstration by youths against the jeweler couple who killed two robbers at their store. He said that the demonstrators support violence and added, “If you don’t use violence, you don’t provoke it.” Several tens of youths demonstrated in Deurne against the couple who most probably shot the robbers out of self-defense. There was also a similar demonstration in the much bigger town of Eindhoven. In the meantime in Deurne, the mayor has prohibited all demonstrations.

Every Year 25 Million Euro Unjustified in Social Security Payments

Every year communities have to write off 25 million Euro of unjustified social security payments. The recipients – often fraudulent ones – are caught, but never return the payments. In addition, there is an amount of 600 million claims of non-returned social security fraud. This concerns monies that the municipalities still expect to collect according to their bookkeeping. This amount increased in 2012 by more than 30 million Euro.
