Police get 25,000 IP addresses in hunt for Seveke’s killer
31 January 2006
AMSTERDAM ? Detectives investigating the murder of Louis S?v?ke took possession of data on people who visited the political activist’s website.
Family and friends of the dead man said on Tuesday the police have an estimated 25,000 unique Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. The police told the family the details are currently being preserved but not examined.
The managers of the site http://www.louisseveke.nl/ wanted to keep possession of the data unless and until there were concrete grounds to give the information to the police. The investigators did not agree with this proposal and took possession of the data.

The issue is sensitive in this case as most of S?v?ke’s associates are left-wing activists who are not particularly fond of police attention.
Seveke was a well known political activist and secret service watcher, was shot twice Nov. 15th 2005 on Van Welderenstraat in the city of Nijmegen, in the eastern part of The Netherlands.
”Indications are that this is a political murder” journalist Gerard Legebeke said, interviewed on Dutch national radio. Legebeke is an investigative journalist who lives in Nijmegen, and who knew the killed political activist for years.
During the past twenty years had become the bane of illegal police, secret services and many covert neocon government activities.
Seveke wrote about the ‘false flag’ behavior of secret groups in Holland’s shady secret services, which help orchestrate the US-led ‘War on Terror’. These paid ‘spooks’ are not defending the human rights of the 16 million Dutch – rather they are ‘protecting’ The Netherlands No. 5 place on the list of richest countries, and its 6th place in the legal and illegal weapons trade.
Seveke also wrote critically about the Dutch secret service the AIVD – (Algemene Inlichtingen en Veiligheids Dienst) – which apparently ran it’s own fake ‘al Qaida terror group’ named the Hofstadgroep. “That is their normal way of working”, Seveke wrote in his last NRC Handelsblad article.
One of the AIVD’s ‘moles’ was Ali B. Seveke and others have suggested he was an agent provocateur who, according to Seveke and Dutch TV show Netwerk, “Supplied handgrenades to ‘a very dangerous group’, grenades he allegedly had covertly “received from an agent of the secret service AIVD”.
The same grenades wounded police officers later on when they stormed the safe house after an ‘anonymous tip’.
There is much, much more to this story than meets the eye: I have had difficulty following it because the information that’s available is mostly in Dutch, so if anyone can elaborate further, please do.
The fact that the AIVD and Dutch police can, with impunity, confiscate user IP addresses without any proven link to an offence should send a chill up the spine of any internet user in Holland, and particularly those of us of the lefty persuasion.
Much more inside info on the AIVD and Dutch spying here.
