Former JA21 politician Kevin Kreuger was assaulted in March near a McDonald’s in Osdorp, Amsterdam, after he confronted a group of boys for throwing ice cream at a girl. The confrontation escalated into a physical attack where Kreuger was pursued and kicked while on the ground before street coaches intervened. The incident, which occurred just before the municipal elections, caused national outrage and left Kreuger feeling unsafe in public.
The Public Prosecution Service has issued penal orders to two of the suspects involved. One individual received a 32-hour community service sentence for violent assault causing injury, while another was sentenced to 20 hours for violence against persons and property. Both are required to pay 380 euros in damages to Kreuger. A third suspect has refused the penal order, leading prosecutors to consider taking the case to court. Kreuger expressed disbelief regarding this refusal, noting that the individual had allegedly seized his phone and participated in the kicking.
