On the night of November 7, Maccabi Tel Aviv fans faced a wave of antisemitic assaults in Amsterdam, marking the first rulings related to these violent incidents.
The judge noted that, while the actions of the Israeli supporters contributed to tensions, such context does not excuse the violence inflicted on them.
Some defendants in a 900-person WhatsApp group were explicitly discussing plans to assault Israeli fans, stating their intent to 'beat up Jews'.
Four of the convicted individuals received prison sentences, as the court deemed that only imprisonment was appropriate given the severity of the offenses.
