Earlier, Maccabi fans tore down Palestinian flags hanging from house windows. Allegedly these actions, according to the Dutch media, are the reason for the incidents that broke out after the football match.
“On Rockin Street, a Palestinian flag was pulled from a facade by – currently unknown – individuals,” police said in a statement.
An Amsterdam police spokesman said 57 suspects were arrested during the raids. However, he did not confirm whether those arrested were fans of any team. Those arrested are charged with the offenses of public order violation and possession of fireworks.
