Man Arrested in Rotterdam on Suspicion of Participation in a Terrorist Organization

Gebied: Rotterdam

This morning, a 20-year-old man was arrested in his home in Rotterdam by officers from the Special Intervention Service (DSI). The man is suspected of posting multiple posts on social media glorifying jihadist ideology. Images were also found showing the Rotterdammer presumably wearing a protective vest, a balaclava, and a machete.

The dissemination and glorification of jihadist ideology is punishable by law. The man is suspected of participating in a terrorist organization. A very serious matter. Investigators from district East have therefore immediately started an investigation together with the Cluster Societal Threats team.

This morning, the DSI stormed the house and arrested the 20-year-old man. In the house, data carriers and a machete were secured, among other things. Additionally, balaclavas and a protective vest were found. There are currently no indications that the man had any concrete plans. He is in custody and is currently being interrogated.
