(NL Times) Four men were convicted on Wednesday for crimes committed before and after a football match between Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv FC of Israel. The harshest sentence given was the 12-week stint in prison that a 27-year-old man was ordered to serve. The verdict was published the same day it emerged that authorities have 122 suspects in their sights for the riots surrounding the Ajax vs. Maccabi Tel Aviv match in Amsterdam last November, the Public Prosecution Service (OM) told NOS.
The 122 suspects are accused of involvement in multiple violent incidents on November 6, 7, and 8, both before and after the match between the Amsterdam and Israeli football clubs. Several people were attacked on the street, there was widespread vandalism, and anti-Semitic slurs were uttered.
