The shooter, getaway driver and organizer of the attack on Peter R. de Vries were each sentenced to more than 25 years in prison.
A Dutch court on Wednesday convicted three men of murder for their roles in the 2021 shooting of investigative reporter Peter R. de Vries in a brazen downtown Amsterdam attack that sent a shockwave through the Netherlands .The shooter, getaway driver and organizer of the attack were convicted of direct involvement in the killing. The shooter and driver were sentenced to 28 years. The man who organized the slaying was sentenced to 26 years and one month.
Prosecutors had sought life sentences for the gunman, getaway driver and organizer of the killing and sentences ranging from three to 21 years for the six other suspects in the case.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.Asbroek said prosecutors would likely appeal that element of the verdicts.
