The shooter and driver were sentenced to 28 years. The man who organized the slaying was sentenced to 26 years and one month.The three demonstrated \u201cunprecedented ruthlessness and unscrupulousness. Their actions and the recklessness they showed demonstrate that they do not care about human life,\u201d said presiding Judge Gert Oldekamp at Amsterdam District Court.De Vries was gunned down on July 5, 2021, on a busy Amsterdam street and died nine days later of his injuries at age 64.Annemiek van Spanje, a lawyer for de Vries&#8217; family, said they were satisfied with the judgment, but that \u201cthe bottom line is &#8230; it won&#8217;t bring back their father.\u201dA total of nine men were charged in connection with the murder. Three were convicted of complicity and were given sentences ranging from 10 years to 14 years. One man was convicted of drug possession but was cleared of complicity in the murder. He was sentenced to four weeks.Two were acquitted because they were charged only with involvement in a criminal organisation, and the judges said prosecutors did not prove the existence of such an organisation.Prosecution spokesperson Justine Asbroek welcomed the convictions.\u201cWe are happy that this criminal case has come to an end \u2014 at least for the time being,&#8221; she told reporters at the courthouse. &#8220;We are happy for the family that there is finally clarity about those involved in the murder.\u201dThe full names of the suspects were not released in line with Dutch privacy regulations.Prosecutors had sought life sentences for the gunman, getaway driver and organiser of the killing and sentences ranging from three to 21 years for the six other suspects in the case.The sentences were generally shorter than requested because the court said prosecutors did not prove that the suspects were part of a criminal organisation or that some had acted with a terrorist motive.Asbroek said prosecutors would likely appeal that element of the verdicts.The slaying sparked outrage, grief and anger throughout the Netherlands. Dutch King Willem-Alexander called the shooting of de Vries \u201can attack on journalism, the cornerstone of our constitutional state and therefore also an attack on the rule of law.\u201dOldekamp said the murder \u201csent a shockwave through the Netherlands.\u201dDe Vries had been an adviser and confidant for a protected witness in the trial of the alleged leader and other members of a crime gang. The witness\u2019 brother and lawyer were both murdered.The group&#8217;s top gangster, Ridouan Taghi, was convicted of his role in five gangland killings and sentenced to life behind bars in February. Judges called him the \u201cundisputed leader\u201d of a \u201cmurder organisation.\u201dTaghi has not been charged with involvement in the assassination of de Vries and prosecutors have not charged any suspects with ordering de Vries killed.ADVERTISEMENT\u201cWhether Taghi was involved in the murder of Peter de Vries and what intention he may have had is expressly not up for assessment in this criminal case,\u201d Oldekamp said.Earlier this year, the de Vries family lawyer, van Spanje, lamented the fact that no suspect was on trial for ordering the murder.\u201cThe fact that the person who ordered the killing is not known and is not on trial here naturally hangs like a shadow over this trial,\u201d she told The Associated Press.The shooter was arrested less than an hour after the attack, along with a Polish man identified only as Kamil E. who was the getaway driver. Prosecutors told judges at Amsterdam District Court that the weapon used to shoot de Vries was found in their car.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summarize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs in Arabic A Dutch court on Wednesday convicted three men of murder for their roles in the 2021 shooting of investigative reporter Peter R. de Vries.
