‘Swearing error can have major consequences for Brech’s case’

Gerald Roethof, the lawyer of the Simpelveldaar convicted in the Nicky Verstappen case, said on Thursday evening in the TV program Op1 that the case against his client must be rehearsed because mistakes were made in the swearing in of the lawyers. “And if a wrong oath form has been used, the case should be settled. That is in the law and you must adhere to it,” says professor De Roos.
