He was arrested in October last year, after being under marechaussee surveillance for 16 months. De V. worked on Schiphol airport and as an IT contact for the Border Guards Brigade. During interrogation De V. stated that he gave up the information after being seriously threatened. From fear of retribution, he would not say to who he gave the information.
