One employee was arrested in the raid and was released three days later, the newspaper added.

The raid, which took place two months ago, was part of a major inquiry by the Dutch tax office's fiscal police unit FIOD-ECD. The unit raided 54 locations including Dutch electronics firm Philips (which was also not itself under suspicion) over alleged corruption in the real estate sector.
