Following Morocco's victory at the World Cup, riots broke out in various cities in the Netherlands. Police and riot police also had to intervene in Rotterdam. However, according to BIJ1 Rotterdam, this was not due to the rioting Moroccans, but to the actions of the police. They speak of ‘racist, violence-minded officers’.
