The request was signed by a Dutch prosecutor (Officier van Justitie)
In the Netherlands, not complying can result in a jail sentence with a maximum of 3 months [1].
I do believe this request was pushing the legal boundaries as the law describes the request should be as specific and narrow as possible [0]. (with "as possible" being a rather big loophole)
