Former Ajax player Bryan Roy has to go to prison for forty days because he did not carry out his community service. Roy was given eighty hours of community service and a suspended prison sentence for threatening Mark Rutte.
That reports The Parool†The 51-year-old former professional football player posted a text on April 3 with a tweet from someone else about Mark Rutte. “We help Mark with his memory of what to do. Resignation of Rutte, resignationmarkrutte.petities.nl”, the tweet read. Roy responded with the text: “Headshot will get it soon.”
Not performing community service
The Public Prosecution Service (OM) investigated the tweet and also convicted Roy for it. He was not present at the case, nor had he sent a lawyer to the court for his defense. A day after his conviction, he posted on Twitter that “Rutte can push the community service in his seam”.
He therefore did not carry out that community service and that is why he has now been arrested to serve a prison sentence. For every two hours of community service that he does not, there is formally one day in prison. Roy therefore has to sit for 40 days.
