Overview
- Police arrested three men for the Rotterdam and Heemstede synagogue cases and a judge ordered them held 14 days under strict contact limits, with a 20-year-old from Tilburg and a 23-year-old from Amsterdam tied to Rotterdam and an 18-year-old from Amsterdam tied to Heemstede.
- Four Tilburg youths linked to the Rotterdam case must stay in custody 30 more days, and police earlier said they found a jerrycan in the car during the stop that led to their arrests.
- Prosecutors say the explosion at the Rotterdam synagogue on March 12–13 was an attempted attack with a terrorist motive, and officials are probing whether suspects were recruited and whether there was any Iranian influence.
- In Zelhem, the municipality finished removing drug-chemical residue from a luxury outbuilding and PFAS-tainted pool water, a cleanup that cost about €60,000 and will be recovered from the offender.
- A court provisionally released the 45-year-old Zelhem suspect under conditions so he can care for his children and stabilize his small company, while a 19-year-old relative and a 35-year-old man remain suspects in the case.
