Dutch "intelligence"

Dutch police commissioner Fup Goudswaard was recently placed on administrative leave because the Dutch intelligence services ("AIVD") refused to certify their approval of his appointment. According to the AIVD, Goudswaard had an affair during his first marriage years ago and he was therefore at risk of being blackmailed. It turns out he was cheating on his wife with a number of women, including his former boss and a woman who later became his second wife... I wonder how these affairs could have been used to blackmail him --

Extortionist: Ma'm, your husband cheated on his first wife.
Wife: Yes, that was with me.

If the implausibility of this scenario is not enough, I'd say that discussing the affair in the Dutch newspapers took care of any risk of Goudswaard being blackmailed. Nevertheless, the AIVD maintains that Goudswaard is a security risk and he will likely be terminated from the police on September 10.
