On August 26, 2026, attorney Merijn van Leeuwen filed a criminal complaint with the Public Prosecutor at the District Public Prosecutor's Office in The Hague on behalf of the Stichting Herstel Ongekend Onrecht (Foundation for Redress of Unprecedented Injustice) and the Belangenvereniging Gedupeerde Ondernemers Toeslagen/FSV/MKB (Association for Affected Entrepreneurs in the Benefits/FSV/SME sector). The complaint calls for an investigation into potentially criminal acts in violation of the Constitution, specifically the withholding of information vital to parents, entrepreneurs, and their representatives (including journalists, lawyers, and judges).
