17 men from a drug gang had to answer for several murders. After almost six years, the verdicts have now been announced.
Overall, the penalties are somewhat lower than the prosecution had demanded. This was the most extensive and spectacular murder trial in the country's history. It is also directly related to the brutal murder of crime reporter Peter R. de Vries in 2021 - but the verdict is not due to be announced until the summer. The defendants remained largely silent during the trial and it is certain that they will appeal.
