any personal information illegally obtained

You're right, that should be removed. As you say, it's already a crime, so that wouldn't need any additional support by the RTBF.

I think I disagree. By that logic we would also be deleting information like that gained from the Snowden leaks

[grzm → suby]

Damnit. Why can't this be simple?

Is this type of thing really personal information, though? Would it be something covered by RTBF?

It actually is simple.

Covering up an illegal act using state-granted powers is illegal. Someone "breaking the law" to tell people you committed illegal acts is not illegal in any meaningful sense.
