NU.nl22 September · 14:101 day ago

The Zwolle courthouse was evacuated on Tuesday afternoon after a fire broke out in the technical room of the underground parking garage during the appeal hearing for former Jumbo boss Frits van Eerd. The proceedings were paused due to the evacuation, which was conducted as a precaution despite the fire being small with light smoke development. Van Eerd was not present at this first session; he was previously sentenced on August 7, 2025, to an unconditional two-year prison term for money laundering, forgery, and bribery.
