In prison up to seven months before rioters in aftermath of large -scale Amsterdam riots

The Amsterdam District Court convicted three rioters on Thursday for their role in the riots on the Amsterdam square '40 -'45. Two of them receive an unconditional prison sentence, writes The court. The disturbances took place a few days after the large-scale riots around the Ajax-Maccabi Tel Aviv match match. The penalties correspond to what the Public Prosecution Service had demanded.

November 11, three days after the game, it became restless on the square in Amsterdam. A group of black -clad boys blocked public transport, abused several people and brought vandalism. For example, a wooden beam was thrown through the windshield of a bus and a tram was pelted with stones and fireworks. In that tram, fire eventually arose after passengers had left the vehicle. Eventually the ME was used. « It seemed like war, » said a witness.

The 20-year-old Adam A. gets the highest punishment. He was guilty of open violence against a tram driver and a conductor, among other things. He was also convicted of drug possession. Hicham El H. gets five -month prison For the mistreatment of several people. According to the court, he played « a hefty and active » role in the violence. The youngest suspect, the eighteen -year -old Burak Ö. has received 120 hours of work and a month of conditional youth detention.

The three suspects must also pay compensation, ranging from more than 63,000 euros to 4,000 euros. According to ANP, Adam A. announced earlier in court that he was « broken » for his actions. The Amsterdam Ö also said two weeks ago that he had wanted to « not hurt the abused man. « I was just angry. »
