A former Dutch royal military police (Koninklijke Marechaussee) investigator has been hit with a six-month prison sentence demand from the Netherlands Public Prosecution Service (Openbaar Ministerie Oost-Nederland) for stealing more than €6,000 in crypto assets from a traveler. Prosecutors say the defendant used wallet recovery phrases found in police records, accessing the traveler's file after a passport check at Schiphol Airport on October 24, 2025, then pulling the same traveler's 2023 record from police systems hours later. The case highlights how routine border-check data, including seed phrases, can become a custody risk for crypto holders. The court's ruling and any restitution order are the next items to watch.
