"Who defines criminal behaviour?"

The police/prosecuting agency in the country where the company is based I imagine. That appears to be Holland [1]

The fact that it was an ex-administrator does suggest foul play as opposed to a mistake compounded with poor backup processes. We shall have to see how the story pans out.

Netherlands and no, the police doesn't define what is criminal - the PARLIAMENT, ie the law-creating body, does.

I should have been clearer: The police/prosecuting authorities will decide if the behaviour in this case was criminal and if there is enough evidence to bring charges under the law - the law(s) in question having been passed by Dutch Parliament. Thanks
