The Hague: A Dutch court on Wednesday handed down lengthy jail sentences to three men for the murder of high-profile crime journalist Peter R. de Vries, a killing that shocked the country.
Two men received sentences of 28 years for shooting De Vries and driving the getaway car. Another got 26 years for his role in planning the murder.
De Vries was gunned down in broad daylight on a busy Amsterdam street in July 2021, sparking an outpouring of grief.
"The murder of Peter R. de Vries is a liquidation," according to the high-security court in Amsterdam.
Prosecutors had demanded life sentences for the trio, identified as Dutchman Delano G., Kamil E. from Poland, and Krystian M.
