After the violent pogrom in the streets of Amsterdam against Maccabi Tel Aviv fans, the prosecution in Amsterdam announced that 40 suspects in the riots in Amsterdam received fines for public disorder – 10 suspects for vandalism.
The prosecution in the Netherlands also added that they are still investigating whether the suspects were organized and that more arrests are expected, as reported by Amichai Stein.
The leader of the largest party in the Netherlands, Geert Wilders, claims that all the detainees in Amsterdam were arrested during or before the match against Maccabi Tel Aviv and not during the riots that occurred afterward.
"There were no arrests on Thursday night, during the hunt for the Jews, no one was arrested during the pogroms, everyone was arrested before the pogroms, during the game, or before."
"A large part of the detainees have already been released, and fines were imposed on them, without any other penalties."
The fans who returned to the country told News 12 about the terrifying night: "We experienced an attempted lynching, Jews were stabbed and raped, they ran away and shouted 'Save yourselves,' everyone around us spoke only Arabic and it was very stressful, even the locals who were not actively involved in the lynching just stood by and did nothing."
Another witness recounted: "The Muslims tried to run over, kidnap, beat, and murder."
Another witness cried out on social media: "It's a disgrace what's happening here." I'm in Amsterdam and I feel like I'm in Rafah. What a disgrace, where is the police? Where are the security guards?
