According to the OM, the speedboat driver had too much to drink. The accident happened in front of a large number of beachgoers.

Although the case is in Zeeland, the suspect must stand trial in Amsterdam. The functional public prosecutor’s office of the Public Prosecution Service submits cases that have occurred in the North Sea to the court in the capital, according to a spokesperson.

The incident happened more than two years ago. The Public Prosecution Service aims to settle cases within a year, says the spokesperson, and regrets that it took considerably longer in this case. The corona crisis has contributed to the delay, according to the Public Prosecution Service.
