Rotterdam Court Jails Two for 23-Kilogram Pole Attack on Feyenoord Staffer

The court rejected attempted manslaughter, issuing serious-assault convictions with €15,000 compensation.

Overview

  • Olcay K., 32, received six months in prison plus 240 hours of community service; Batin T., 21, got four months and 180 hours.
  • Prosecutors had sought five and four years respectively, but judges imposed substantially lower terms.
  • The men were found to have thrown a pole with a concrete base over a partition at De Kuip on 6 August 2025, striking a 35-year-old supporters' escort.
  • The court said they accepted the likelihood of serious injury but not the risk of death, so attempted manslaughter was not proven.
  • The victim suffered a head wound, a severe concussion, and a broken thumb, reports PTSD symptoms, and no longer attends the stadium.
