It is one of the largest corruption cases in history. According to the Public Prosecution Service (OM), Amsterdam municipal official Jim B. made no fewer than 95 inquiries in systems linked to incidents of violence. He previously provided some transparency regarding this, but he no longer wishes to do so. He and his family were allegedly seriously threatened, his lawyer said in the Amsterdam court on Friday.
