Issues and Costs Arising from Disciplinary Investigations at RIK
February 6, 2026
At RIK, the cost of two disciplinary investigations has burdened taxpayers with hundreds of thousands of euros. Members of the board and union representatives claim that the investigations may be related to personal disputes rather than the best interests of the Foundation. There are suspicions of attempts to influence decisions by certain officials. These disciplinary investigations have caused internal conflicts and disarray among the staff. Unions express a loss of trust in the Foundation's management.
