Pieter Weening was sentenced last year to eighty hours of community service for assaulting and threatening his former brother-in-law. This week there was another hearing in court and what happened during the evening was explained in detail in local newspaper Leeuwarder Courant.
It was Christmas Day 2021. The Dutch former cyclist was visited by his in-laws, but during dinner a heated discussion arose about raising the child of his then partner, one from a previous relationship. Ultimately, the brother-in-law could hold on no longer and broke both of Weening's jaws with a punch. The rider then allegedly followed his brother-in-law and threatened to do something to him. "Give me your gun and I will shoot them dead," a furious Weening responded when the police arrived at the house.
