On April 17, the major left-of-center Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant reported that it had obtained a 2009 internal report to the largest Dutch telecom provider KPN that indicated that at the time Huawei (with which KPN already had an agreement for the provision of 4G cell-phone infrastructure) was able to listen in to all telephone conversations of the network, including the then Prime Minister Balkenende, various ministers and Chinese dissidents in the Netherlands. Huawei also knew which numbers were tapped by police and intelligence services. The report by CapGemini was kept secret.
