Life Sentence Demanded for Murder of Innocent Teacher Linked to Drug Criminal
In a case at the Justitieel Complex Schiphol, Dutch authorities are seeking a life sentence for British drug criminal Robert D., accused of ordering the murder of Gerald Meesters, a 52-year-old teacher, 22 years ago. The prosecution highlighted that Meesters was an innocent victim caught in the crossfire of the drug world, linked to his sister’s illegal activities. They also demanded €25,000 in damages for Meesters’ family. D. denies involvement, arguing the murder was unwarranted, but officials stress the need for societal protection. D. is currently serving a 22-year sentence in France.
