Rail saboteurs face high penalties: 'They took all risks for granted'
Although no suspects have been arrested yet, evidence suggests protesting farmers are behind national rail sabotage. Experts warn these actions exceed vandalism, potentially violating Article 164 regarding intentional endangerment of train traffic, carrying sentences up to 15 years or more if deemed terrorist. Academic Bart Schuurman notes perpetrators assumed unacceptable risks, while Ira Helsloot states such acts violate protest rights by causing serious hindrance. If convicted, saboteurs face multi-million euro claims from NS for losses and likely public backlash, undermining their cause.
