Triplet Denies Kidnapping After Failed Car Deal: 'He Could Have Stepped Out at Every Traffic Light'
Three men in the Netherlands are standing trial for extortion and assault following a conflict over a second-hand car sale in October 2021. The defendants deny kidnapping Y.A., claiming he could have exited the vehicle at any traffic light, while prosecutors dropped the unlawful detention charge due to lack of evidence that he attempted to flee. The Public Prosecution Service requests twelve months in prison, six of which are suspended, along with a community service sentence and compensation for the victim, who suffered injuries including scratches and bloodstains found in his car.
