Administrative court dismisses appeal where minister rejects security license due to criminal conviction and integrity doubts.

The Council of State dismissed the appeal by First9 Beveiliging B.V. and an individual against the Amsterdam District Court's decision to deny a security license. The minister rejected the applications because the applicant had been criminally convicted for forgery and identity fraud, and three prior complaints existed regarding false passports used by his former company. The court upheld the decision because the applicant's conviction and the specific, detailed complaints provided sufficient grounds to doubt his integrity, outweighing the partial and contradictory testimonies offered by the defense.
