    Theft of blank passports and identity cards

    Hundreds of blank passports and identity cards were stolen from Sdu’s Haarlem facility in 2002. Sdu discovered the theft but did not report it to police until 2004, after falsified identity documents made from the blanks appeared. Former employees with suspected links to Nigerian organized crime were investigated. The controversy contributed to the later sale of Sdu Identification.
