Overview
- The Public Prosecution Service filed an appeal on Friday, asking the Court of Appeal to review the Den Bosch ruling.
- Two weeks earlier, the court acquitted Stint producers Edwin Renzen and Peter Noorlander.
- Judges concluded it was not proven that the directors intentionally put a dangerous vehicle on the market.
- Prosecutors dispute the court’s reasoning and had sought five years and four months in prison plus fines, arguing defects such as a missing emergency stop and weak brakes caused the crash.
- The 2018 Oss level-crossing collision killed four children and seriously injured two others, and investigators have not established a definitive cause; families expressed disbelief at the acquittal.
