Defence ministry accuses car fleet boss of corruption

The defence ministry is investigating possible fraud by the civilian head of its 6,000 strong fleet of vehicles, the Telegraaf reports on Wednesday.


The paper says the man, known as Jacques H, is said to have spent years driving around in luxury cars which he did not pay for.
The man was allegedly allowed to buy cars at large discounts but did not pay the bill, a whistleblower has told defence officials. The bill was only cleared when the car was traded in again – at a good price.
The case came to light during an investigation into possible corruption in a major order for new police cars.
