GEEN STRAFFEN VOOR COFFEESHOPS

4 september 2013

Door Stefan Gybels


De politierechter heeft het openbaar ministerie (OM) niet ontvankelijk verklaard in de zaak tegen veertien koffieshophouders en -personeelsleden. Daardoor ontlopen zij hun straf.

Die uitspraak is uitermate opmerkelijk omdat de strafrechter in juni van dit jaar wel straffen oplegde aan zeven andere koffieshopmedewerkers voor hetzelfde vergrijp, namelijk de verkoop van softdrugs aan niet-ingezetenen.

Geheel in lijn van die uitspraak eiste het openbaar ministerie woensdag opnieuw werkstraffen en geldboetes. Zes eigenaars/beheerders moesten volgens het OM een boete van 2500 euro en een voorwaardelijke werkstraf van 75 uur krijgen. Acht werknemers hoorden een boete van 250 euro en 15 uur voorwaardelijke werkstraf eisen.

De rechter stelde echter dat het ‘gemeentelijk beleid is om koffieshops aan te pakken’. “Daar is het strafrecht niet voor bedoeld”, zei ze, en verklaarde het OM daarmee niet ontvankelijk. Die uitspraak leidde tot grote vreugde bij koffieshophouders en -personeel. VOCM-voorzitter Marc Josemans. “Ik had dit niet verwacht, maar stiekem toch wel gehoopt. Maar de rechter begrijpt het. Zeer opvallend dat een ‘strafrechter-light’ als de politierechter dieper in gaat op de materie dan de echte strafrechter.” Het openbaar ministerie kondigde al aan in beroep te gaan tegen de uitspraak van de strafrechter.

Josemans werd eerder woensdag vrijgesproken van het maken van reclame voor softdrugs. Josemans diende zich woensdagmorgen te verantwoorden vanwege het verspreiden van een buurtfolder met informatie over de stand van zaken in het koffieshopdossier. Het OM vond dat reclame en eiste 4000 euro boete waarvan 2000 voorwaardelijk.

Advocaat André Beckers bepleitte vrijspraak omdat er volgens hem geen sprake is van reclame maken voor softdrugs, maar enkel van informeren. Daar ging de rechter in mee.
