On Tuesday, an Amsterdam court convicted five people, including Moroccans, for their involvement in violence against Maccabi Tel Aviv fans last month in the Dutch capital. The decisions come after riots broke out after a match between Dutch team Ajax and the Israeli club.
The court said the convicts had physically assaulted the supporters by kicking them on public roads, in addition to inciting violence via electronic chat groups. The court handed down the harshest prison sentence of six months to one of the accused for his significant role in the attack.
Dutch authorities arrested around ten people in connection with the events, including Moroccan and Turkish citizens. The court stressed that these decisions are part of the fight against violence and the protection of public safety, particularly in light of the growing tensions linked to sporting events.
