The Marechaussee has arrested a civilian Defense employee in Assen who is said to have sold large quantities of military goods, such as clothing and equipment, on Marktplaats.
The man would have earned about 50,000 euros with this. It concerns clothing and equipment with the new camouflage pattern. Those specific goods have only been delivered within the Ministry of Defense for two years.
The man was arrested in Assen on Monday and is still in custody on Wednesday. He is suspected of embezzlement in employment. The Marechaussee is leading the investigation into the case.
