Racial Volunteer Force
Robin van Opstal (1981) is suspected of gun ownership comes as no surprise. He is, after all, been active in a group of Rotterdam Nazi skins, including notorious perpetrators Ed Polman and Arris de Bruin.
Together with them makes him since 2003 part of Blood & Honour/Racial Volunteer Force (B&H / RVF). This organization consists partly (former) Members of the Dutch People's Union (NVU) who are dissatisfied about the "moderate’ course of this party. B&H / RVF pursues an Aryan society after.
The members draw from their ideological convictions conclude that Nazi motivated violence is justified and commanded. One of their heroes David Copeland. An English neo those serving a life sentence for committing several bombings in black neighborhoods in London. It also supports Kay Diesner, a German neo-Nazi who tried to murder a prominent communist and fleeing a police officer shot dead. B&H / RVF provides the stewards of NCE demonstrations and keeps hall meetings. Furthermore, different members guilty of violent crimes. Currently is one of the ringleaders, Michael Krick, a prison sentence of three years for attempted murder on a man Antillean. Ed Polman has been convicted several times because of racist assaults and vandalism. And Arris de Bruin has an extensive criminal record for assault. He is currently in custody because of a remarkable discovery weapon in his home. Op 17 maart 2007 a SWAT team found several firearms here, ammunition, bulletproof vests, a machine gun and several nail bombs.
Robin van Opstal
In 2004 Robin van Opstal, together with people like Ed Polman and Arris de Bruin, involved in racist abuse. In the German town of Selm they walk two foreigners bump. When one of the two equally goes pee, the neo-Nazis attack the other to. However, that saves a lot of himself and gets help from his friend. Because the neo-Nazis in danger of losing the battle, Robin van Opstal trying to drive the man at odds with his car.
Van Opstal is, arrested along with two others. He gets five months in prison, 19 months probation, 2.000 euro fine, two years disqualification from driving and a prohibition to enter the next three years, Germany. The court was convinced of the design and of the racist motives of Van Opstal. An important factor was the statement of a co-perpetrator that the group regularly went on "nigger hunting". The judge Van Opstal had his conviction know: “Anyone who behaves like you deserve a thrashing. Actually, it was too little. That belongs in Germany to omit. The time types if you had to say over and this court will be there to help that this continues. Go back to the Netherlands and never come back here.” Very much impact these wise words of Van Opstal. In 2006 he falls again into Nazi violence. Together with a Flemish skinhead he asks on the street in Belgium random passersby for their opinion about National Socialism. A boy, whose answer evidently falls into the wrong earth, Mistreated by the pair. The two have to appear before the court for this case, and are now at liberty. Briefly, this involves a group of neo-Nazi hooligans, who mistreat any foreigners. What is the extra worries (fire)gun ownership in these circles.
Maarten van Mil
Maarten van Mil (1965) and Ed Polman are no strangers to each other. In 1999 they recruit together at Leiden homeless signatures Janmaat's Centre Democrats. After some of these homeless are already identified in the Town Hall, turns a group of anti-fascists who gets in the clinch with Van Mil and Polman. There are some hits and Van Mil pulls a knife. After this, the men took to their heels. In 2004 try to import thousands of counterfeit Mil Nazi insignia. Customs at Schiphol Airport discovered the cargo. Mil continued, but eventually acquitted. The insignia, he claims, intended for filming. The recent search of Van Mil besides firearms and ammunition again Nazi insignia seized.
The role of Maarten van Mil is not very bright. He does not seem to be active in public events and extreme right has never been convicted of assault. He seems at first sight to have a more facilitative role and could be responsible for providing the weapons and Nazi material.
The ideological setting in which the accused Nazi activists themselves, in combination with the found so far weaponry, reminiscent of serious violence- if not terror threat.
