ARNHEM - There is hilarity among a group of alleged jihadists and their supporters over a huge blunder by the AIVD. During a nationwide investigation into radicalized Muslims who want to participate in the terrorist organization Jabhat al-Nusra, investigators appear to have discovered wiretaps placed by suspects. On Twitter, those involved are laughing heartily at the intelligence service.
The equipment came to light because suspects saw a tile lying wrong in the garden at their home in Arnhem and became suspicious as a result. When they went digging here, they found receivers, associated wires and the eavesdropping microphones attached to the window frame.
Serge Weening, attorney for the six men suspected of participating in a terrorist organization, got hold of this equipment through his clients. "I have never experienced this before. I never knew until now where this OVC equipment was placed and what it looked like. I think other clients will undoubtedly be interested in this information," said the Maastricht criminal lawyer.
