A group of foreign squatters has been allowed to stay temporarily on an estate along the Amsteldijk Noord in Amstelveen.

The preliminary relief judge in Amsterdam rejected an eviction claim brought by property owner and real estate entrepreneur Lars-Erik Magnusson on Monday.

Ruling on the Estate

Under the decision, the occupants are permitted to remain in the villa for now, despite the legal ban on squatting.

The ruling leaves the occupants in place while the dispute remains unresolved.

Limited Details Available

The specific legal reasoning behind the judge’s rejection of the eviction claim was not detailed in the report.

It is also not yet known how long the squatters will remain on the site or whether further legal proceedings will follow.
