Editing I&O (section)

==Controversies and Allegations==
	•	Arms Cache Incidents: The 1980 Limburg and 1983 Rozendaal discoveries exposed I&O’s existence, with the latter cache partially plundered, suggesting lax oversight. A 2007 KRO Reporter documentary revealed that a Scheveningen cache was looted by organized crime in the 1980s, possibly linked to drug lord Klaas Bruinsma, raising questions about security and misuse.

	•	Criminal Connections: Some sources, allege that I&O was infiltrated by criminal elements, including Bruinsma’s syndicate, which accessed weapons caches. These claims also tie I&O to a supposed “VIPedophile” network involving Dutch elites, but evidence is speculative and lacks corroboration from mainstream sources.

	•	Domestic Surveillance: I&O’s Operatiën branch was tasked with countering communist propaganda, potentially involving surveillance of Dutch citizens, such as members of the Communist Party of the Netherlands (CPN). This aligns with Gladio’s broader anti-communist activities but lacks documented evidence of violence in the Netherlands.

	•	Post-Dissolution Scandal: In 1993, two former I&O agents were convicted of attempting to extort Nutricia by threatening to poison baby food, tarnishing the organization’s reputation.
