Comment on On the new Dutch intelligence and security lawparent

Comments

So, Dutch intelligence basically has legal leeway to pry anywhere. But I'm curious how they would hand over some "fact" to Police whom cannot normally access that information without some kind of warrant or legal approval from public prosecution.

How does that work in practice (under Dutch law)?

If they find something that is really criminal they can notify the police, but it is not straightforward. Search for "ambtsbericht".

There are ways to inform the police, but they need to do "parallel construction" to allow information in court.
