That writes the Police today in a letter to the families. Ard van der Steur also has Minister of security and justice the second Room informed of the findings.
Forensic anatomist George reacts in Nieuwsuur Size on the police report.
Sensitive information during a lecture in Maastricht brought Size, Member of the MH17-identification team, sensitive information to outside and showed pictures of mutilated bodies. Furthermore, Size inaccuracies told about cases under the criminal investigation into the disaster.
According to the internal investigation had not requested permission for the Measurement reading. He also knew that the target group consisted of students not only from peers, health sciences and forensic anthropology. In addition he had not be able to speak on matters that fall outside his field, and no identifiable photos of victims.
The LTFO that does the permission within the Organization lacks clear frameworks, agreements and criteria relating to giving lectures. It has been agreed that footage of victims of MH17 from now on should only be used after the unambiguous consent of victims.
Measure, which as external expert was hired by MH17-identification team, came into the talk of the town after RTL News audio recording of the reading brought out. Minister van der Steur called the action "extremely inappropriate and distasteful". The forensic expert was already from the identification team.
