Transfer of suspects in Zwijndrecht hostage case

France handed four suspects over to the Netherlands in connection with the hostage-taking of a man from The Hague in Zwijndrecht. The man had been held in a house in Zwijndrecht and was freed during a raid by a police arrest team.

The suspects had been arrested by Dutch police in late October at a bed-and-breakfast in Chelles, France. They are now in the Netherlands.
