David, an ultra Maccabi supporter was in Amsterdam for the match. The man said he was used to post-math violence among our colleagues at Franceinfo but still specifies that last night “we were in something else“. “It’s even worse than an ambush. It was a plan organized by various teams and separate groups, with the aim of catching isolated people to lynch them… They attacked couples, they pushed a girl to the ground. They took their belongings, some were thrown into the canal. It’s shocking“, he laments.
