According to the testimony of a police officer working on the Hofstad Group case, the letter pinned by Bouyeri to Van Gogh's chest was already familiar to the suspects. "It was not widely available," says the police officer, "but these kids already had it."
One of the suspects also testified that he saw the letter over the internet, and his lawyer confirmed that it passed from hand to hand within the group.
Such testimony is very important to the prosecution, who needs to prove that the Hofstad Group was indeed a network, and not just a general collection of people.
