Hoge Raad quashes judgment court of appeal The Hague in case of Guus K
The core of the judgment is that the refusal of the court of appeal The Hague to sustain the request of the public prosecution office to refer the case to the examining magistrate to hear two witnesses anonymously, is insufficiently motivated.BackgroundThe suspect Guus K. is prosecuted for the alleged involvement in war crimes committed by Liberian forces and/or militians and involvement in illegal arms deals with the regime of Charles Taylor between 2000 and 2003.The district court of The Hague has sentenced Guus K.
