[Former Dutch Military/Police Officer Allegedly Uses Official Authority to Steal Cryptocurrency; Prosecutors Seek 6-Month Imprisonment] According to a November 9th announcement by the Dutch Public Prosecutor's Office (OM), prosecutors are seeking a 6-month imprisonment sentence for a former investigator with the Royal Dutch Gendarmerie (KMar). He is accused of illegally accessing police systems using his official authority and stealing over €6,000 worth of cryptocurrency from a traveler. Prosecutors stated that in October 2025, the suspect accessed the police system to query a traveler who had previously been checked at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. He obtained the 24-word recovery mnemonic phrase for the cryptocurrency wallet stored in the traveler's previous case record. He then transferred the wallet's assets to a personal account and reinvested the funds in other cryptocurrencies. The investigation also revealed that the suspect subsequently accessed the victim's police records approximately 20 more times. The officer has been dismissed, and prosecutors are demanding that he return the stolen funds to the victim. The case is pending a court ruling.
