Public prosecutor placed under stricter supervision Interior

The Public Prosecution Service has an exceptional position, which means that the Justice and Security Inspectorate can only carry out limited investigations into abuses there. “That is a consequence of the position of the OM as part of the judicial organization,” writes Grapperhaus. “However, I think it is important that a form of review by a supervisor takes place here too.”

The CDA minister believes that supervision of the OM should be arranged in a better way. That is why the Attorney General of the Supreme Court is now called in for this. In particular, incidents and “implementation in general” should be better investigated.

At the end of last year, Grapperhaus promised to get a better eye on the actions of the OM. The minister said this following an investigation by the Fokkens commission, who concluded that at the OM summit it had suspended years of ‘ethical leadership’, which could have created a culture in which integrity was violated.

OM knew about relationship Marianne Bloos and Marc van Nimwegen

That was the conclusion of the committee of inquiry after the parties had been heard for a year. Central to this was the role of former Attorney General Marc van Nimwegen, who concealed a love affair with subordinate Marianne Bloos. The top of the OM was informed but did not intervene, was the conclusion. In addition, a contract for the supply of software was awarded to his sister and brother-in-law at the initiative of Van Nimwegen, while according to the rules that would not have been easy.
