Dutch police say they’re investigating 45 people for violent crimes in relation to unrest surrounding an Amsterdam football match involving an Israeli team last week, with nine already identified and arrested, Al Jazeera reports.

Police are “looking at all crimes committed in the run-up to the game and in its aftermath”, Dutch police Chief Janny Knol said in a statement, after the violence erupted in the Dutch capital on November 7.

The number of suspects is expected to increase “based in part on the analysis of a large amount of footage”, police added.
