At least five asylum seekers from Syria have been refused refugee status in the Netherlands because they are war crimes suspects, Trouw reports on Wednesday.
A further 15 of the several thousand Syrian refugees were still under investigation by mid August, Trouw says. The figures have been confirmed by the immigration service.
Last year, junior justice minister Fred Teeven said 30 people had been refused a residency permit because of their suspected involvement in war crimes.
