The Dutch government had already received the information about Turkish intelligence trucks heading to Syria when Enis Berberoğlu, an MP of Turkey's parliamentary main opposition party CHP, allegedly leaked this information to Cumhuriyet daily, his party says.
The commission CHP had formed to supervise the legal case of Enis Berberoğlu's arrest following the charges of espionage has finalised its studies. The commission members shared their final report. According to their report, a Dutch MP brought up the issue to the agenda of the Dutch Parliament, getting an answer that "The government is aware of the documents, as presented to us by Dutch MP Omtzigt, which proves the claims of Turkish trucks carrying weapons to Syria".
Berberoğlu was sentenced to 25 years in prison earlier this year for allegedly leaking footage to Cumhuriyet newspaper suggesting Turkish government smuggled arms to Islamist terrorists in Syria. He was convicted of revealing state secrets and espionage.
The commission member Cemal Okan Yüksek, and MP of CHP, said that the documents said to had been leaked by Enis Berberoğlu had already been at the hands of the Dutch government five months before Berberoğlu was accused of leaking. Yüksek protested "So, how was this a state secret? Obviously, a spying act had been carried out against Turkey. Yüksek also noted that the Turkish government has to reveal the person responsible for handing over the documents about Turkey's intelligence trucks to the Dutch parliament.
