Massive terrorism trial brings ten suspects to Amsterdam court

One of the largest terrorism trials ever in the Netherlands starts in the court in Amsterdam on Monday. A total of 10 suspects are facing charges of, among other things, participation in a terrorist organization, recruitment and conspiracy to commit terrorist offenses. A total of 21 trail days have been set aside for this case and the Hague court especially moved to the high-security court, the so-called Bunker, to handle it. The case came to light after immediate family members of young people who have been recruited to join the terrorist organization reported it to the police, Wouter Bos of the Public Prosecutor told RTL Nieuws. "These people are brave, because they reported it despite of the shame.", he said.
