Dutch police are creating a digital image of its data to hand over to U.S. authorities, as required under the American request for legal assistance.

    MLAT - Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty.

    as required under the American request for legal assistance.

    required

    request

    Aye, these words do not match. Amsterdam loudly and proudly claims credit for hiding Anne Frank. Making it one of their core tourist attractions. And yet when modern day digital Anne Frank is on their turf they hand them over without question.
