The incident is the kick-off of a lengthy dismissal procedure initiated by the municipality. Van Engelenburg is accused of theft and intimidation. In his ruling, the judge dismisses the accusations and the investigation on which the municipality is based is shaky on all sides. “That means a lot, I think I am an honest person,” Van Engelenburg says now. “You are accused of theft while you know it is patently untrue. The feeling that I would not have acted with integrity is not correct.”
