Seven men have been ordered to appear in court next month in connection with the violence before and after the Ajax Maccabi Tel Aviv football match on November 7.

One man, aged 22 and from the Eindhoven region, faces charges of attempted murder, grievous bodily harm and public order offences, the public prosecution department said on Friday.

The six others, three from Amsterdam, the others from Monnickendam, Utrecht and The Hague, face violent disorder offences on the day of the match or afterward, as well as robbery, group insult and the possession of fireworks. One man has been charged with sharing information about the violence.

The cases of the seven, who range in age between 19 and 32, will be heard on Wednesday 11 and Thursday 12 in Amsterdam. Five of them are currently in custody and the other two were released earlier.

Six other people will appear in court later in connection with the disturbances in Amsterdam several days later. Three of them are minors, the public prosecution department said.

The prosecution department also said that it had received multiple formal complaints about Maccabi supporters attacking others and people who had attacked Maccabi supporters.

The police are still analysing footage from the trouble and other arrests are expected. Three people have been picked up following television crime show broadcasts showing their blurred images.

Attacks

Five supporters of Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv were taken to hospital after being attacked by what Amsterdam mayor Femke Halsema described as “hit and runs” by “youths on scooters” following the Europa League tie against Ajax.

As yet, police have not said how many people were attacked and how many incidents there were.

Police arrested 62 people for public offences on day of the match itself, 10 of whom were Maccabi supporters.
