In a report by the Supervisory Committee of the Intelligence and Security Services (CTIVD), it was found that the police intelligence services in the Netherlands unlawfully monitored entire population groups on three occasions between February 23 and July 1, 2022. These intelligence services collaborate with the general intelligence service AIVD to identify potential threats to national security. However, the CTIVD stated that in these cases, the police did not adequately justify why they needed to investigate entire communities. While the CTIVD did not disclose the specific communities involved, it explained that they were based on factors such as ethnicity, religion, or occupation. This revelation has sparked calls for better oversight of the intelligence and security services.
