Soviet wet dreams become reality in Holland
In an article in yesterday’s newspaper “Het Parool”, the Council of Chief Constables of the Dutch police declared that the Dutch police uses hacking computers as a technique to obtain information on alleged criminals. They also introduce Trojans as a means to obtain evidence. “The police is quite happy with these techniques”, according to the Parool article.

A Dutch cartoonist who publishes his drawings under the nickname “Gregorius Nekschot” has been arrested early Tuesday morning by a team of 10 policemen. The police also confiscated his computer, his mobile phone and other material from his home. This was announced by Dutch comedian Hans Teeuwen in a late-night talk show yesterday evening. Nekschot’s lawyer and the office of the Dutch DA have confirmed this information.
Allegedly, one of the policemen told Nekschot that “this would mean the end of his anonymity.”
