Insiders report to De Telegraaf that there are doubts in the police summit whether Roos can remain in the police police. For the time being that is the case, according to the reaction of Knol.
Simone Roos played prominent role with Vera Bergkamp
Last week it leaked through various media that Roos as a former clerk of the Lower House, together with former chamber chairman Vera Bergkamp (D66), had a prominent role in the ARIB case. This former PvdA politician was accused of ‘abuse of power’ and a ‘reign of terror’, after which it was leaked to NRC that an investigation into her would be started.
After Chamber President Vera Bergkamp reported the leakage of secret information, the National Criminal Investigation was conducted. It emerged that, among others, Vera Bergkamp, top officer Jaap van R., and a current member of the Simone Roos corps leading a prominent role. The National Criminal Investigation Department suspects that Roos has removed ‘conscious message traffic’ in the ARB case ‘affiliated with the subject of the investigation of the National Criminal Investigation Department’.

Top official from R. also stated that Roos ordered for this. “There has been a period where the instructions were: delete everything.” Those instructions came from the then clerk Roos, according to Van R.

Chief of police Janny Knol has hesitated for days about answering questions from De Telegraaf, but will let you know on Friday afternoon in a brief response that she “has taken knowledge of the verdict and the media messages.” There is no answer to the question whether Roos can stay on. She also refuses to comment on the National Criminal Report report and the findings that are included about Roos for the time being.
She does say through her spokesperson that she is considering investigating this. “The chief of police will study this further. Naturally, she is also informed about any new developments. The chief of police emphasizes that care has been offered.”
