The items for sale on the Marktplaats website included the clothes a police officer was wearing in the MH17 investigation, a pouch of Malaysia Airlines tissues, as well as a piece of unknown material suggested to be related to the downed airplane, the NL Times reported, citing police.
The advertisements related to the object were removed from the website over the weekend, as the offer was deemed "offensive and unethical," a Marktplaats spokesman was quoted by the media as saying.
Some earlier media reports suggested that the police officer was fired, but the NL Times reported that he was reassigned while an investigation is underway.
The police officer offering the controversial items for sale was arrested on suspicion of embezzlement, according to law enforcement.
Flight MH17, with 298 people on board, crashed on July 17, 2014, after being shot down en route to Kuala Lumpur from Amsterdam, leaving no survivors. Most of the victims were Dutch citizens, and the Dutch Safety Board headed the international investigation into the incident.
