Low prison sentences in Heerlen drug case after prosecutor demands 4 and 5 years in prison (Rechtspraak.nl)
On September 4, 2018, more than 130 kilograms of MDMA-containing substances were found in a shed in Heerlen. Four suspects were arrested at the scene and were suspected by the prosecution, among other things, of processing MDMA-containing powder into XTC tablets and intentionally having the aforementioned amount of hard drugs present.
Among other things, the prosecutor considered both the processing and the intentional presence of the narcotics proven and demanded high prison sentences. But, the court agreed with the defense: due to the manner of charging, the court did not get to a relevant part of the indictment.
Two defendants were sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment, including four months' probation, following a 4-year sentence requirement. Read the full sentences in these cases:
