Press Gazette: Dutch court says tapping of journalist’s phone was illegal
July 28th, 2009Posted by Laura Oliver in Editors' pick, Legal
Jolande van der Graaf, a De Telegraaf journalist, who had her phone tapped by Holland’s secret service after report using leaked government information, won her case last week.
A Dutch court ruled that the tapping of both van der Graafe and her editor-in-chief’s phones was unlawful.
AIVD, the country’s secret service, is expected to appeal the decision, which provides an interesting contrast to the recently reported ‘phone hacking’ activities of the News of the World.
