OM starts criminal investigation into the foundation of Sywert van Lienden | Inland

Randstad previously supplied staff to the Auxiliary Troops Alliance.

“The (former) directors of the foundation repeatedly communicated in the media that they were acting on a non-profit basis. However, it later turned out that, in addition to the foundation, the (former) directors had also set up a private company that was used for the purchase and sale of face masks,” the Public Prosecution Service outlines.

On Monday, it also appears that the Public Prosecution Service has been conducting independent investigations into the Auxiliary Troops Foundation for some time, well before Randstad had filed a report. It concerns a civil law investigation into the board and the statutes of the Auxiliary Troops Foundation.

According to the public prosecutor involved, Otto van der Bijl, this civil investigation into Van Lienden’s foundation falls under the supervision of legal entities, which is in the hands of the Functional Public Prosecutor’s Office. “As soon as we are drawn to a foundation by those involved or through publicity that may not be acting in accordance with the statutes, we will inquire about this and ask for the administration, for example,” said Van der Bijl previously about a similar investigation into the Viruswaarheid Foundation. by William Engel.

According to the Public Prosecution Service, the civil investigation into the Auxiliary Forces Foundation is still ongoing, it has not yet led to conclusions and the foundation is fully cooperating. Moreover, the civil investigation is separate from the criminal investigation and is conducted by a different team.
