I didn't want to post about this, but now that they have created a media hysteria in the Netherlands over this, with bigger headlines than the war in Ukraine, I couldn't stay silent.
My first reason to NOT want to post about this, is that it's one of many scandals, and this is the one scandal pushed into the spotlight to cover-up the rest of them. My second reason is even more important, because the official story is completely ridiculous, and with censorship almost complete, I have to guess what's really going on.
Here's the "corruption story" in a nutshell. This was already reported in May 2021, so it isn't clear to me why this only became a media hysteria now (last month, the book "Sywerts Miljoenen" was published by reporters of Follow the Money)...
In April/May 2020, Sywert van Lienden and his 2 business partners - Bernd Damme and Camille van Gestel - made a cool 20 million profit on a deal selling 40 million Chinese masks to the Ducth government for 100 million Euro. This looks to me like an example of, nice deal if you can get it.
What made the dealings of Van Lienden and partners so terrible (they have even been criminally charged) is that they LIED and claimed that they were doing this without making a profit.
That's horrible isn't it? Lying to the public, by somebody in his private business making a nice profit.
Another person that gets part of the blame is former minister of health Hugo de Jonge (he is again minister in another ministery in Willem-Alexander's current cabinet). What did De Jonge do wrong you might want to know?
He sent messages about his opinion that he wanted this deal to go through, without having any authority in deciding the matter (ministers have only a function of ceremony). And then he LIED about it, claiming that he had nothing to do with the deal.
You can imagine how shocked everybody in the Netherlands is... a politician LYING, that should not be possible: (in Dutch) https://archive.ph/wznFE
You can (not?) imagine how the government officials that knew all about their 20% "margin" and approved the deal anyway won't get any criticism. What makes the bureaucrats activities really CRIMINAL is that they approved the deal anyway, when they already knew that the masks contain graphene, for which reason they weren't even used in the health care: (in Dutch) http://web.archive.org/web/20220116...-coronadeals-van-sywert-van-lienden~b2dff054/

What isn't reported by our wonderful media (whether mainstream or alternative), is that these 40 million masks cost only a couple of cents a piece to produce, so the 2 Chinese companies that delivered the masks, made nice profit of some 75 million Euro.
Nobody knows who got these millions, but I can guess who got a nice kickback...
At first the responsible government officials - Rob van der Kolk, Mark Frequin and Bas van den Dungen - reject the Van Lienden and partners mask deal, for several reasons.
Then on 12 April 2020, Van Lienden sent his mask proposal to Van den Dungen, noting that he had made the plan in cooperation with the CC's in the mail, which included Prince Constantijn (the younger brother of King Willem-Alexander, him again!).
And then suddenly the government officials, while still noting that it was a bad deal, quickly in a couple of days approved the 100 million Euro deal.
It isn't quite clear what the precise involvement of Constantijn was, but it has been reported that he put Van Lienden into contact with Dutch and Chinese companies to help him out.
My wild guess is that Constantijn had a financial interest in the deal: (in Dutch) https://www.ftm.nl/artikelen/hugo-de-jongen-en-de-mondkapjesdeal

. Hotels, rental cars, food, entertainment... All costs a pretty penny. It's a hard life traveling the world but it has it's perks sometimes.
