Police chief critical after risky match FC Twente – Hammarby: “Can the police deployment still be justified?”

Just under two months after the FC Twente – Hammarby match, which got out of hand due to riots in the stands, the police tracked down twenty to thirty rioters, who are also being prosecuted. The police deployed around 350 people in the police operation before, during and after the risk competition in Enschede. Roeland Groen, police chief of Twente, wonders whether the heavy police deployment can still be justified. “In my opinion, the discussion could be conducted more sharply.”
