At Opsporing Requested, photos were shown tonight of suspects of the riots after AZ’s return against West Ham United. There are cameras in the stadium and supporters have also filmed the disturbances. One suspect may be a minor, according to police.
“One hit with a belt, another kicked someone to the ground.” This is what presenter Anniko van Santen just told NPO1. Ten supporters in the photo were named with a description and a number.
It’s about last Thursday night. Then things go completely wrong in the AZ stadium. Towards the end of the match, according to the supporters present, the atmosphere is already grim, fans of AZ break out of their compartments and attack supporters from West Ham United.
It now appears that objects have also been used to abuse people and that a possibly underage boy is involved. He kicked a West Ham United supporter, police say.
‘ME’er kicked’
A member of the mobile unit was also kicked and threw a container at one man. View the photos here and report to the police if you recognize them. Text continues

Investigation Requested is, the word says it all, a tactic used by the police to track down possible perpetrators. The images and statements in the program expressly come from the Public Prosecution Service and the police.
It is therefore not a journalistic independent show and the people in the photos are not necessarily guilty of a criminal offense. If the suspects are prosecuted, the judge will decide on their guilt, if any.
