Overview

• Fourteen suspects faced supersnelrecht on Tuesday over the Malieveld unrest; ten were convicted with short custodial and community sentences, two were acquitted, one case was stayed and one was ruled unfit for fast-track.
• An investigating judge extended pretrial detention by 14 days for six other suspects, with 37 arrests in total and further identifications possible, police said.
• Authorities used Opsporing Verzocht to call on suspects to turn themselves in and asked the public to submit images from the riots.
• In a letter to the demissionary cabinet, the VNG reported 2,075 people at Ter Apel overnight and noted €350,000 in COA penalties paid to Westerwolde as it pressed for immediate national regie and backing for local boards.
• Local pressure mounted as Amersfoort withdrew two azc proposals after threats and police cleared roughly 200 people outside a Noordwijk meeting where fireworks and eggs were thrown, while Utrecht’s mayor linked a recent Overvecht stabbing to failures in the asylum chain after an 18-year-old suspect was arrested.
