A group of twenty duped parents filed a complaint on 12 January 2021 against a number of government officials involved; Tamara van Ark, Wopke Hoekstra, Eric Wiebes, Menno Snel and Lodewijk Asscher. According to the lawyer representing the parents, these ministers are guilty of a criminal offense and negligence. Because it concerns (former) ministers, this declaration was filed with the Attorney General of the Supreme Court.[63]
