A Giant Gommer, who was not prosecuted for the death of Sanda Dia, has taken YouTuber Acid to court over some videos. Acid, whose real name is Nathan Vandergunst, lost his YouTube account in early June after posting a video in which he revealed the identities of four (former) members of Reuzegom, including two individuals who were convicted in the trial of Sanda Dia’s death. Acid claimed that he wanted to “cancel” the Reuzegom members because he believed they were not adequately punished for Dia’s death. YouTube suspended his account for violating its rules.
A week later, Acid posted another video titled “I’m sorry Reuzegom, sorry,” but he did not offer an apology. He described the previous week as “turbulent” and claimed that he single-handedly initiated the discussion about whether the Reuzegom members had been sufficiently punished. Acid also criticized the media, the judiciary, and the lawyers of the Reuzegommers in his videos.
However, Acid’s videos are now facing legal consequences. The family of one of the four named Reuzegommers has decided to take him to court. Their lawyer, Wim De Colvenaer, confirmed the news and stated that the Reuzegommer in question was not prosecuted or convicted in the case of Sanda Dia’s death. Acid’s videos featured the Reuzegommer and his parents’ restaurant, which faced a boycott and received false reservations and negative reviews as a result.
De Colvenaer has filed a direct summons against Acid for slander and defamation, harassment, electronic harassment, and hate speech. The lawyer refers to Acid’s two videos and an interview conducted by Acid’s lawyer with VTM. The case is scheduled to be heard before the Bruges court in September, and the Reuzegommer is seeking 1 euro in provisional compensation.
