On Friday evening, the resident of Zeist was arrested after he surfaced in an investigation into statements about the farmers’ protests.
In addition to maintaining public order on the streets, the police are currently investing in tracking down people who commit crimes online. This also includes incitement; inciting others to commit criminal offences, even if that takes place online.
