FILE - Dutch crime reporter Peter R. de Vries looks on prior to attending a live TV show in Amsterdam, Netherlands, on Jan. 31, 2008. A Dutch court is delivering verdicts Wednesday, June 12, 2024 in the trial of nine men suspected of involvement in the 2021 assassination of popular campaigning journalist Peter R. de Vries on a downtown Amsterdam street. A Dutch court on Wednesday convicted three men of murder for their roles in the 2021 shooting of investigative reporter Peter R.
Annemiek van Spanje, a lawyer for de Vries' family, said they were satisfied with the judgment, but that “the bottom line is ... it won't bring back their father.” The sentences were generally shorter than requested because the court said prosecutors did not prove that the suspects were part of a criminal organization or that some had acted with a terrorist motive.The slaying sparked outrage, grief and anger throughout the Netherlands. Dutch King Willem-Alexander called the shooting of de Vries “an attack on journalism, the cornerstone of our constitutional state and therefore also an attack on the rule of law.
