Prosecutors may appeal sentences for Amsterdam soccer attackers

Dutch prosecutors are considering appealing the sentences of five men convicted of attacking Maccabi Tel Aviv fans in Amsterdam. They are unhappy with the court's decision to treat one suspect as a minor, resulting in community service instead of jail time. The prison terms for the other convicts also fall short of the prosecutors' demands. The prosecutors had sought two years in jail for a leader of the rioters, but he was given six months instead. Another person who organized violence online received 10 weeks in prison instead of the requested six months.
