Dutch gov't bought wiretapping system from Israel without informing parliament: report

The Ministry of Justice and Security has purchased a new telephone and data-tapping system for the police from a controversial Israeli defen

The Ministry of Justice and Security has purchased a new telephone and data-tapping system for the police from a controversial Israeli defense company without informing parliament. The secret purchase was intended to quietly replace a broken tapping system bought from another Israeli company in 2019, NRC reports based on its own investigation. The decision to quietly purchase a new system from the controversial Israeli defense company Cognyte was made this year when Dilan Yeşilgöz was still Minister of Justice and Security and Dick Schoof the highest civil servant at the Ministry, the newspaper found. They hoped to conceal the failure of the other brand-new tapping system, which the police could never get working. But the secretly purchase system has also not worked to date. The police are now stuck with two new, non-functioning tapping systems and are still forced to work with their outdated and technically flawed tapping system, also from Cognyte, but then still called Verint. The only mention NRC found of the brand new system in the Ministry’s documents sent to parliament is talk of an “upgrade.” However, several directly involved police officers and prosecutors told NRC that parliament was misinformed - this is not an upgrade, but a new tapping system which also does not work. The Ministry made no mention of the price. The secret purchase is extra controversial because parliament previously raised concerns about Cognyte. There were multiple reports that the Israeli company was abusing its listening devices for espionage, which is why parliament demanded in 2016 to say goodbye to the Cognyte system that is still being used by the police.
