THE GOOD NEWS today from Amsterdam is that a after a 5 year struggle, the Dam Bhoys battle for justice was vindicated in a Dutch legal verdict that has cleared 4 boys with a fifth having his sentence cut to a month’s suspended for a reduced charge.
‘In an unusual decision judges also said that three of them should never have been prosecuted. The judges also said “If the court cannot trust the statements of police officers, then the criminal justice system will fall apart like a house of cards.”‘
The Dutch press are all over these verdicts.
The Scottish press?
Not so much.
Unlike their keenness to stick the boot in initially.
None of them were in court for the appeal. https://t.co/NTu3wjLIwZ— CelticResearch (@CelticResearch) January 25, 2019

“Police officers made incorrect official reports”

Massive congratulations to Christian Visser and his colleagues for a historic victory in the Dutch courts as the Dam Bhoys are finally acquitted! The Dutch police didn’t know who they were dealing with when they took on the combined forces of the Celtic support! @Voetbaladvocaat
