AMSTERDAM — A Dutch court on Wednesday convicted three men of murder for their roles in the fatal 2021 shooting of investigative reporter Peter R. de Vries, a brazen attack in downtown Amsterdam that sent a shockwave through the Netherlands.
Two were acquitted because they were charged only with involvement in a criminal organization, and judges at Amsterdam District Court said prosecutors did not prove the existence of a criminal organization. De Vries had been an adviser and confidant for a protected witness in the trial of the alleged leader and other members of a crime gang. The witness’ brother and lawyer were both murdered.
