Court case against Bill Gates in the Netherlands goes ahead despite the jailing of the lead lawyer
Despite Bill Gates attempting to claim a Dutch court has no jurisdiction over him, the court case against him and 16 other defendants went ahead on Wednesday.
Two lawyers were representing 7 vaccine-injured claimants: Arno van Kessel and Peter Stassen. In June, the day after submitting documents for the initial proceedings, van Kessel was arrested and taken away blindfolded by a team of semi-military police. He is still being held in the Netherlands’ highest security prison. So, on Wednesday, Stassen represented the 7 claimants on his own.
Speaking after the hearing, Dutch independent media outlet Pinch of Soot said, “If van Kessel’s arrest was meant to intimidate Stassen, it did the opposite. As if he felt he had nothing left to lose, Stassen did all but mince his words, [he took the bull by] the horns and named the defendants’ crimes for what they are: biowarfare, genocide, mass murder, deceit and assault.”
The judge will issue his ruling in six weeks’ time.
Two Dutch lawyers, Arno van Kessel and Peter Stassen, filed a case representing 7 claimants who alleged harm from covid injections. The case against Bill Gates, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla and 15 others was facilitated by the Stichting Recht Oprecht Foundation.
Proceedings officially began on 14 July 2023 when bailiffs travelled across the Netherlands to serve summons to the 17 defendants. The case was due to be first heard on 22 November 2023.
By 22 November 2023, the attorneys for all the defendants, except Gates, had entered their submissions. Gates arrogantly claimed that the court in the Netherlands had no jurisdiction over him. However, the court disagreed and said that all parties, including Gates, must appear in person at the court for an oral hearing on 18 September 2024.

Gates did not appear in court as ordered. “Gates, who did not appear before the Leeuwarden District Court on 18 September, but was represented by a lawyer from PelsRijcken, stated that he believes that a Dutch judge is not competent to judge him because Gates is an American citizen,” independent researcher and reported Penny Maries said.
On 16 October 2024, the judge gave his ruling. “The Judge announced on 16 October that Gates was in the wrong. The Dutch Judge does have jurisdiction,” Maries said.
“The court ruled that Gates, who attempted to have the case dismissed or contest the court’s jurisdiction, was in the wrong. His legal challenge was dismissed, and as a result, he has been ordered to pay the legal fees of the plaintiffs,” The Gateway Pundit said. “A new hearing [is] set for 27 November 2024.”
At the beginning of June 2025, the North Netherlands District Court in Leeuwarden finally announced that the first substantive hearing of the case was scheduled for 9 July 2025.
