Prosecutors sought 180 hours of community service for each of five security guards over the death of a 37-year-old Polish visitor to the Breda Barst festival in Breda in 2022. The man became unwell after being removed from the festival grounds and restrained by the guards, and died in hospital eight days later.

According to prosecutors, camera footage showed that the guards held him down, including while he lay on his stomach, for more than 16 minutes. They alleged that the guards acted carelessly and negligently by failing to provide appropriate aid when his breathing worsened and his face became discoloured. The court was due to rule on 17 December.
