The Dutch secret service MIVD caught a couple of GRU "diplomats" who were trying to do MITM (with a Pineapple) on e.g. the organisation in The Hague who were investigating MH17. One even had a taxi receipt with him from GRU HQ to Moscow airport.

Meanwhile, the Dutch secret service AIVD had access to GRU HQ camera feeds.

Before all that happened a high ranking Russian police officer got reprimanded (IIRC send to gulag) for working together with the Dutch police on high level cyber crime.

has his name and signature on it. i guess he kept it to expense the $10. a bit too convenient. if true, it means this guy is a spy carrying a ticket in his pocket that says "i spy for russia". he is so bad at his job that we have nothing to worry about

Theory has it it was a routine job for them, hence the complacency.
