Almost 30 years ago the Netherlands were caught with their pants down actively participating in criminal activity. The scandal was called "The IRT affaire". At that time the IRT teams were more directly involved with criminal activity as I understand it.

After the big deal that that caused, it looks like they restructured to do the same sort of things but do it all through proxies instead. Plausible deniability. Avoidance of accountability. I expect I'm describing all intelligence agencies here with this, but this was a case of the justice department morphing into an intelligence agency driven thing. So no longer representing justice (or democracy) anymore.

In 2006, the mayor in our council signed the integrated approach to tackeling weed plantages agreement (Convenant, geintegreerde aanpak hennepplantage". The integrated part refers to the proxies (Their partners, like the council) through which they do everything. From that time he was obstructing all attempts from me not to be a victim of harrassment, theft, attacks etc.

Apparently, they are given orders, not explanations, to do things. Plausible deniability. Not very plausible but they would claim the deniability part.
