The police report on the investigation into forensic investigator George Maat on his MH17-reading is still on the table, says the Leiden professor Wednesday.

Size was fired as an employee of the National Forensic Investigation Team (LFTO) because he had shown pictures without permission from the identification of victims of disaster flight MH17. Size demands openness in response to answering parliamentary questions by Ard van der Steur Minister of Security and Justice Tuesday.

Van der Steur wrote to parliament that size he assumed this kind of presentation without permission could give advance ,, in the context of education and professional colleagues, '' because a colleague also previously the police had received permission to do something.

The CDA MP Pieter Omtzigt is not satisfied with the answers from the minister. He finds it inappropriate that someone will be thrown out first, only then there will be an investigation and that investigation then even secret. The CDA suggests that size never promised anything in terms of confidentiality. Omtzigt going to ask additional questions to the minister about the affair.

Identification Process
Size does include showing photographs of mutilated bodies and body parts of the victims. He did not ask permission. The disaster flight ended last summer in eastern Ukraine with the death of many Dutch.

The lecture was open to everyone and relatives knew nothing. Size described on the basis of photos step by step exactly how the identification process is done. It gave very specific details, including on bone remains, body bags, freezer containers and decomposing bodies.
