“Politicians of Bonaire illegally spied on by AIVD”

Between 2005 and 2010, politicians in Bonaire were illegally spied on by the Dutch intelligence service AIVD.

These politicians negotiated at that time with the Dutch government about joining the Netherlands, NRC Handelsblad daily wrote on Thursday.

The AIVD could only perform intelligence and security operations on Bonaire, if they had permission for this purpose. This permission had to come from the Prime Minister of the Netherlands Antilles or on behalf of the head of her own intelligence service.

The then Prime Minister Emily de Jongh-Elhage tells NRC, however, that she knew nothing about this. “This startles me,” said De Jongh-Elhage to NRC Handelsblad.
