Court Narrows Witnesses in Schuiling Appeal to Truck Driver and Adds Emergency-Call Audio

The next step is an interview of the eyewitness by a judicial commissioner.

Overview

  • The court in Zwolle ruled that police chief Martin Sitalsing, former chief public prosecutor Diederik Greive and Schuiling’s former spokesperson will not be called to testify.
  • A milk‑truck driver who reported seeing Koen Schuiling masturbating while driving will be questioned by the court’s judicial commissioner.
  • Judges approved the defence request to add recordings of the witness’s emergency call to the case file.
  • Once the interview and audio additions are completed, the court will set a date for the substantive appeal hearing.
  • Schuiling is appealing a €250 indecent‑exposure conviction based chiefly on the driver’s account, as his lawyer alleges tunnel vision by police and prosecutors and points to media leaks.
