  Former Dutch minister now works as a city bus driver December 9, 2017 - 10:26 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Former State Secretary Security and Justice of the Netherlands and lawmaker Fred Teeven is now working part time as a bus driver for Connexxion. "I do work as a bus driver part time and have just finished my introductory course", Teeven said, according to the Telegraaf. "I always wanted to be an international truck driver, but when I was given the chance to drive a bus for a day and a half per week in my own region, I immediately became enthusiastic." Teeven will be in training for another few weeks, and then he can start transporting passengers in the Haarlem region, a Connexxion spokesperson said. Teeven resigned as State Secretary of Security and Justice early last year due to controversy about a deal he made with a drug dealer while he was a prosecutor in 2000. In the months between his resignation and the parliamentary elections in March, Teeven was a parliamentarian for the VVD.
