Sammy Baker's parents settle civil lawsuit with Amsterdam police over his death

Sammy Baker's parents settled a civil lawsuit with the police regarding his 2020 shooting death in Amsterdam. The terms of the settlement remain undisclosed. The civil case was initiated in 2021 after Baker, a German national, was fatally shot by officers while in a confused state and holding a knife. The Public Prosecution Service previously concluded officers acted in self-defense and were not prosecuted. Baker's parents are pursuing criminal charges against the officers through a separate legal procedure, Article 12 proceedings, as they disagree with the decision not to bring the case to court.
