(NL Times) There were no undercover investigations in mosques in the municipalities of Huizen, Hilversum, and Gooise Meren. The three municipalities said this in a joint statement following a publication in NRC on Saturday. The newspaper reported that undercover researchers visited Islamic organizations to collect sensitive information about administrators, imams, and teachers on behalf of at least ten municipalities.
The National Coordinator for Counter-terrorism and Security (NCTV) paid for the investigations. [It] also nominated the NTA agency for the investigation, according to NRC.
Huizen, Hilversum, and Gooise Meren said that NTA “mapped the networks within the Islamic community in a responsible manner on behalf of the municipalities” and that there was a reason for this.
