In November, following the Europa League match between Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv in Amsterdam, incidents broke out that led to the detention of around 60 attackers. Many of those detained did not secure immediate release after their arrests.
Details: A Dutch court sentenced four of the attackers to prison terms ranging from one to six months. A fifth defendant was ordered to complete 100 hours of community service. The accused, all Dutch citizens aged between 19 and 32, were found guilty of public violence, theft, and assault.
Reminder: The clash reportedly involved Arab migrants attacking Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters who had traveled to Amsterdam to support their team. Israeli fans stated that the attackers carried Palestinian flags and chanted "Free Palestine."
