Parliamentary chairwoman shredded tip-off letter about Teeven drugs money deal

DutchNews, December 10, 2015

The row over a multi-million guilder deal agreed between a senior justice ministry official and a drugs baron spilled into parliament on Wednesday evening, following revelations that the parliamentary chairwoman had an anonymous letter about the deal shredded. 

Oppostion MPs now want to question Anouchka van Miltenburg about the deal, following the publication of a damning report on the scandal on Wednesday. Both Van Miltenburg and the former minister at the centre of the deal – Fred Teeven – are members of the ruling VVD. 

The letter, from someone who worked at the justice ministry, gave details about the 4.7 million guilder payment agreed between Teeven and drugs baron Cees H in 2000. As part of the deal, Teeven agreed to return the money to H in return for a fine of 750,000 guilders. 

In the letter, the tipster said justice minister Ivo Opstelten had wrongly informed parliament about the deal by saying there were no receipts or other evidence about it. Both Teeven and Opstelten resigned this March. 

At the time, Van Miltenburg’s staff shredded the letter. When confronted about it later, and given a copy by reporters, she said this was normal practice with anonymous letters. Van Miltenburg continued to ignore the letter and told staff the matter was a ‘storm in a teacup’.

The Unthinkable… Politics, A Review

Humans will begin to search for integrity and fairness and it's going to happen in the places you never expect. I said this last week, so this is a review. There'll come a time when you will demand this of your politics - fairness and integrity. So when the candidates start calling each other names, you will turn your back on them and they won't get any votes. They're going to get the point real fast, don't you think? How about that?

Let me give you another potential. This country that I sit in right now [USA] will set the mold for that particular attribute. I have no clock. Watch for the youngsters to set this in motion, and they will, for they are the voters of tomorrow and they do not want the energy of today. To some of them, it's so abominable they won't even register to vote in this energy. You're going to see this soon. That was number five.. ..."
