Undercover officers used to track down suspects in 2005 Schiphol diamond heist

NL Times  

The seven suspects arrested in January in connection with a diamond heist at Schiphol in 2005, were arrested after a years-long undercover operation by the judiciary, Het Parool reports based on information from sources. According to Het Parool, that was when the judiciary launched a long-term undercover operation to get information about the heist through the suspects' contacts. The undercover officers did not make contact with prime suspects August B. and Erik P., but with their followers. According to the newspaper, the undercover cops tried to prompt discussions about the heist by telling the suspects that journalists were working on a story about it.
