Court case against Bill Gates in the Netherlands goes ahead despite the jailing of the lead lawyer

.

ER Editor: Here’s an update of the past few days on the trial in the Netherlands against Gates, Bourla, Schwab and Gang, including named members of the Dutch state such as Rutte.

A reminder to readers that EO 13818, which kicked off in late 2017 and has GLOBAL application, was designed to go after the perpetrators of the Covid fraud, among other atrocities, since the plandemic and its medical ‘treatment’ were known to have been planned. In other words, many of the key figures in this case are likely to have been dealt with already. But citizens have to see and feel the fight against these creatures. Bourla and the rest are 2.0’s.

This trial started on July 9, a few days ago, with LEAD lawyer Arno van Kessel having had his home raided and searched early on the morning of June 11, with him being summarily whisked away and imprisoned or ‘held’, effectively, on spurious charges for a 90-day period that lasts well beyond the start of the case on the 9th of this month. This case was certainly turning Kassel, we claimed, into a type of Reiner Fuellmich. Notice how blind alleys have been followed with this case, keeping it ticking on and on, such as ‘Gates’ filing a case for dismissal, querying the jurisdiction of the court, etc. All timed.

Here’s The Expose with a review of the case to date. Notice that it started almost exactly two years ago, on July 14, 2023.

There are clues, such as the number of defendants, and the involvement of white hat journalist Jim Ferguson that this is a major (show)case intended to pry open the nature of the Covid psyop and the deep state attack on humanity. (It’s most recent attack, that is to say.)

Just as Reiner Fuellmich played his part early on in getting out key information to vital sources who were paying attention when most of the public wasn’t (intelligence services, for example, the military, etc.), now this case is offered up to the public for disclosure and preliminary justice. The Netherlands has been Deep State Central, which might explain the choice of country for this revelation. A recent reminder of how that country is being not-too-gently exposed to ridicule —

3 New Plaintiffs Ask to Join COVID Vaccine Injury Lawsuit Against Bill Gates

Court case against Bill Gates in the Netherlands goes ahead despite the jailing of the lead lawyer

RHODA WILSON for THE EXPOSE

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.

ER: Notice that the number of defendants is 17

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.

Dutch outlet De Andere Krant reported on 27 June that van Kessel is being kept in prison for another 90 days and so will not be able to present at the lawsuit against Gates, Mark Rutte and their co-defendants.  “The Public Prosecution Service will continue to regard him as a ‘suspect in an investigation into a criminal network’, for the time being, without providing any evidence.”

“This means that the Leeuwarden lawyer will certainly not be at the public hearing on 9 July in the Leeuwarden District Court, where the first substantive hearing of the internationally controversial lawsuit against, among others, the State of the Netherlands, Mark Rutte and Bill Gates is scheduled,” De Andere Krant said.

Adding, “Many suspect that lawyer van Kessel has come too close to the truth in the corona file.”

On Tuesday, Jim Ferguson tweeted an article which began: “Tomorrow, in the Dutch city of Leeuwarden, history may be made.  A court case unlike any other is about to begin – one that could shatter the silence surrounding vaccine injuries, lift the veil on pandemic-era corruption, and place global elites under the microscope of justice.”

After the Hearing

On Wednesday, as scheduled, the hearing in the Leeuwarden District Court was held. Immediately after the hearing, Pinch of Soot interviewed businessman and entrepreneur Jim Ferguson, Dutch lawyer Meike Terhorst, Dutch GP Berber Pieksma and retired judge Barend van Tiel. The following is the description written beneath Pinch of Soot’s video on YouTube.

“If you reject this request, the same blood sticking to the defendants’ hands will stick to yours. This case deserves a public debate at the highest instance: the courtroom. I wish you much wisdom.”

With these words, Dutch lawyer Peter Stassen closed his particularly impressive plea and addressing the judge, during a remarkable preliminary hearing in the Leeuwarden District Court, on 9 July.

During the trial, Stassen had requested the court to hear witness statements from financial expert Catherine Austin Fitts, medical expert Mike Yeadon and Sasha Latypova, a professional in healthcare business and entrepreneurship, among others, as requested by three clients, harmed by the covid-19 experimental gene-therapeutic jabs.

This request was contested by, in total, eight lawyers, representing: Bill Gates; the chief editors of Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf and Dutch TV-broadcaster NOS; Albert Bourla; and, a range of high-ranking Dutch officials and politicians, such as Mark Rutte, who were responsible for the handling of the corona crisis.

Stassen was supposed to present this case together with his colleague, Arno van Kessel. On the 11th of June, the day after having submitted documents to do with the initial proceedings, van Kessel was arrested and taken away blindfolded by a team of semi-military police and is being kept in the Netherlands’ highest secured prison, far away from his family, at least for another three months. The actual charge is unknown – most likely because the State Prosecution is still trying to find a criminal act.

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.

Although the team of lawyers for the defendants are esteemed within the judiciary, Stassen dwarfed their presentations single-handedly. In addition, the defendants’ framing of the suggested witnesses as “conspiracy theorists” and “unqualified” had lost all its magic on an audience tired of five years of lies, abuse of trust, physical harm and excess deaths.

“None of the defendants’ lawyers have responded to the content of my plea. They foolishly repeat the official narrative – which is the prerequisite for being chosen as executors by the defendants. The Dutch State’s lawyer even has the nerve to repeat ‘safe and effective’ here again, while facts and data have long since overtaken the official narrative,” Stassen concluded.

The judgement will follow in six weeks’ time, so the 20th of August, at the latest.

BREAKING: THE FIRESTORM HAS BEGUN IN LEEUWARDEN  
By Jim Ferguson – Reporting from the Netherlands
Yesterday, I witnessed history unfold inside a Dutch courtroom. Arno van Kessel — the brave lawyer arrested without charge, blindfolded, and thrown in a maximum-security prison — was supposed to be silenced. But instead, his case just lit the fuse.
 The courtroom heard accusations of conspiracy, genocide, and bioterrorism — charges leveled against global power players:  Bill Gates  Ursula von der Leyen  Albert Bourla (Pfizer)  Mark Rutte  Klaus Schwab — and others  
Nearly 200 pieces of evidence have been submitted.
What I witnessed inside that courtroom was staggering. Legal teams argued whether only globalist-approved experts should be heard — while the opposing side exposed the suppression of dissent, excess deaths, and devastating fallout from lockdowns, coercion, and psychological warfare.
This case doesn’t just question the vaccine narrative. It challenges the entire global agenda — from digital ID and CBDCs to smart cities and total surveillance.  
“Safe and effective”? One batch was flagged as deadly — yet it kept being distributed. They knew. They were warned. They pushed it anyway.  This is no longer fringe. This is court-documented. I was there. The crowd knew who I was.
They cheered because truth is finally being spoken. And this is only the beginning. A final judgment is expected in 6 weeks. If found guilty, these elites could be forced to testify under oath. This could ignite a global reckoning.  
Stay alert.  Share this.  We are winning the information war.  Humanity is rising.
This is Jim Ferguson, reporting from Leeuwarden. Justice is coming.
