Amsterdam football violence: first suspects in court

Dutch News  

The first three suspects to stand court accused of violence around last month’s Maccabi Tel Aviv-Ajax football match were men with three different ethnic origins – Dutch, Kurdish and Palestinian. “Geert Wilders said they have to be pursued, have as strong a sentence as possible, if they have a double nationality, we should take away their passports and kick them out of the country as quickly as possible.” In addition, he said that Wilders’ critical social media commentary after René de Beukelaer, chief public prosecutor, said a terror motive had been dismissed for all suspects, also affected the right to be presumed innocent until proved guilty. “What is leading is not what is called for in parliament or outside it: it is the facts…With this case it is clear that there was huge social outrage and disquiet, and this is the factor we take into account, not the summary of one politician or another.” However, the prosecution repeated the words of Amsterdam mayor Femke Halsema observing a “poisonous cocktail of football hooliganism and anger about the war in Israel” that night, with calls in chat groups for violence against Jewish people that were discriminatory and illegal. Repeatedly, the public prosecutors, talked about “vengeance for the situation in Gaza caused by the Israeli army” or “the actions of Israel in Gaza” as a motivation for the violence around the football match.
