Amsterdam police on Wednesday circulated 23 new images showing men and one woman they want to question in connection with the violence surrounding last November’s football match between Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv, including a number of Israeli supporters.

The public prosecution department has declined to comment on what they are suspected of, but according to the police statement, “some were involved in pulling down and damaging a Palestinian flag… and in public violence, including attacking a taxi.”

According to local broadcaster AT5, nine of the 23 people shown in the new photos were Maccabi supporters. The attack on the taxi on November 6 is now thought to be one of the drivers of the violence after the football match on November 7.

Surveillance images of several of the other suspects, including a woman in pink earmuffs, were earlier broadcast with blurred faces to give them time to come forward. All are said to have been involved in disturbances on 6, 7 or 8 November.

So far, 15 people have been arrested in connection with the trouble, and three more appeared in court earlier on Wednesday.

In December, five men were sentenced to community service and up to six months in jail. Three men were found guilty of violent assault and two others for sharing information in a WhatsApp group that contributed to the violence.

On the night of the Europa League tie, five supporters of the Israeli club were taken to hospital after being attacked after the match by what Amsterdam mayor Femke Halsema then described as “hit and runs” by “youths on scooters”.

The violence caused outrage in Israel and elsewhere, with Israel at one point saying it would send over planes to rescue its citizens.

Since then, a more nuanced picture has emerged of what went on, although the police have not said how many people were attacked or how many incidents there were. However, according to an analysis of online footage by Trouw and Bellingcat, there is no visual evidence, for example, that scooters were involved.

Arrests

Although locals were first accused of going on a ‘Jew hunt’ against Maccabi fans and the city’s Jewish residents, it later became clear that Maccabi supporters also caused trouble both before and after the match, tearing down at least one Palestinian flag and chanting anti-Palestinian slogans.

In total, 62 people were arrested on the day of the match itself – 10 of whom were Maccabi fans – and most were released later.

Halsema said later she regretted using the word “pogrom” when talking about the trouble and said that she should have mentioned the trouble caused by Maccabi supporters before and after the game.
