Dutch Prosecutors Launch New Investigation Into Maccabi Tel Aviv Supporters Over Amsterdam Violence
Amsterdam (Quds News Network)- The Dutch Public Prosecution Service (OM) has opened a new investigation into nine Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters for violence they committed in Amsterdam during a match against Ajax. These Israeli hooligans have not yet been identified but are suspected of assaults and vandalism, AT5 reported. During a court session today, the prosecutor confirmed the investigation. "We are working on charges against unidentified Maccabi supporters," he said. Authorities will use legal assistance requests and media to help identify them. The Israeli hooligans targeted both Dutch people and properties. However, officials have not disclosed full details of their actions.

Video Evidence and Social Media Footage

Dutch police began reviewing footage of the violence days after the incident on November 7. Videos circulating online showed Israeli fans chanting racist and Islamophobic slogans and carrying iron pipes, sticks, and belts. One widely shared clip showed Israeli hooligans walking through the city with belts. Another captured a man hitting a taxi with what appeared to be a belt. The investigation gained attention after new evidence suggested that the visiting Israeli supporters were involved in the violence. This led to debate in Amsterdam and beyond. Critics questioned why authorities and media initially overlooked the role of Israeli supporters. Tensions had escalated before and after the match. Videos showed a Maccabi fan ripping a Palestinian flag from a building.
