The RAI in Amsterdam is taking extra security measures now that the threat level for a terrorist attack in the Netherlands has increased. The event center will inform the event center this evening NOS.
The Winter Paradise will take place in the RAI in the near future. An event that attracts thousands of people.
It is not clear whether the municipality of Amsterdam is also taking additional measures. A spokesperson says there are no standard measures for municipalities if the threat level is increased. In addition, the municipality does not make any statements about safety guidelines.
Other event or conference centers such as the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht and Ahoy in Rotterdam say they are not taking any additional measures. They want to assess what is needed per event.
Real chance of attack
The National Coordinator for Counterterrorism and Security (NCTV) raised the threat level in the Netherlands from level 3 to 4 yesterday. This means that the risk of an attack is real.
