Armed robbers freed after files disappear
Two men found guilty of an armed robbery on Amsterdam night-club Jimmy Woo in 2006 have been released from jail because the original police and court files have disappeared.
The men are appealing against their four and five year sentences but court officials can only find digital versions of the files. According to the law, an appeal must be based on the original documents.
