Criminal law does not allow Tax Authority's prosecution in benefits scandal: court

NL Times  

The Tax Authority will not be criminally prosecuted for the childcare allowance scandal. Many victims filed criminal charges against the Tax Authority, accusing the service of professional discrimination, extortion, and coercion through abuse of authority. According to the Court of Appeal, there is “reasonable suspicion” that the Tax Authority is guilty of professional discrimination. Hard regulations, strict interpretation of the law, and the lack of human touch have done them an unprecedented injustice.” The Cabinet, the lower house of the Dutch parliament, the National Ombudsman, and the Dutch Data Protection Authority have all established that the Tax Authority acted improperly and unlawfully. According to the responsible State Secretary, the service committed “institutional racism.” Another case, in which dozens of victims filed racism charges against individual Tax Authority employees, is still ongoing.
