Atalanta fan arrested for ACAB shirt: "We will never accept that"

An Atalanta supporter was arrested in Amsterdam yesterday evening after being spotted wearing a shirt displaying the acronym ACAB, which stands for All Cops Are Bastards. Police apprehended the individual near Dam Square at approximately 5:45 PM and held him for several hours, effectively preventing him from attending the Atalanta football match that took place later that night. A police spokesperson stated that such slogans, whether displayed on clothing, tattoos, or via language, are strictly unacceptable to authorities. This arrest was the only notable incident related to the event, as the arrival of roughly 2,200 visiting supporters remained largely peaceful.

Earlier in the day, security forces and the marechaussee monitored groups of Atalanta fans across the city, including an incident near the Oudezijds Achterburgwal where a group was checked for potential confrontations with Ajax fans. Despite a significant police presence and the use of drones and mounted units, no further incidents or arrests occurred during the fan processions or at the Johan Cruijff Arena. Police noted that such arrests for anti-police slogans are not uncommon, having occurred previously during visits from other European football supporters.
