The man, who moved to the Netherlands in 1998, faces accusations of complicity in genocide, incitement to genocide, and war crimes, including plunder and property destruction.

Rwandan authorities, having issued an international arrest warrant in 2014, sought his extradition, but he will be tried in the Netherlands due to his Dutch nationality.

This case marks another instance of the Dutch authorities acting against individuals suspected of participating in the Genocide against the Tutsi, following the extradition of Venant Rutunga in 2021, the third such extradition to Rwanda by the Netherlands.
