• Resumen

  • On 5 February 2015, the District Court of Amsterdam partly upheld a complaint against the Dutch public broadcaster Avrotros. The proceedings had been initiated following the 11 November 2014 episode of the Dutch television show “Opgelicht” (“Swindled”), in which attention was paid to a large scale insolvency fraud allegedly committed by the plaintiff and the company for which he worked. During the episode concerned, the plaintiff’s name was mentioned, an image of his driver’s licence was shown and words of an accusing nature were used.
