Journalists from the AD are no longer welcome for the rest of the year at the Marengo trial, the liquidation process with Ridouan Taghi as the main suspect. The Amsterdam court has decided that reports the newspaper. On June 28, AD accidentally broadcast a few minutes of the lawsuit live on its own website.

It is not allowed to transfer the images live because the names of suspects must first be anonymized with, for example, a beep.
–
The AD said it was an internal error and that it was immediately corrected. The AD journalists were immediately excluded from the rest of the session that day. Now they are no longer welcome at the business at all.

AD accepts the punishment
AD editor-in-chief Rennie Rijpma announces the sanction hard to find, but to be accepted. “It limits us for a longer period of time in reporting a criminal case with a major social impact. At the same time, I understand that the court must monitor the safety of the judicial process and that if a mistake is made, a sanction will follow.” The AD will continue to follow the lawsuit.

The chairman of the Dutch Association of Journalists Thomas Bruning mentions it Twitter alarming “that the court should impose such a severe sanction on a medium for human error”. According to him, the court should be very cautious with measures that make it impossible for part of the press to work for a longer period of time.
