Nation Deceived: ‘Today Inside’ Broadcast Exposed as Elaborate hoax Across the Netherlands
Amsterdam, Netherlands - November 20, 2025 – A shocking revelation has swept across the Netherlands, confirming that the entire nation was misled by a months-long segment on the popular television programme Today Inside. The program, broadcast on SBS6, presented a fabricated narrative centered around alleged criminal activity within the Dutch football world, now definitively proven to be entirely false. The unfolding scandal threatens to severely damage the reputation of the broadcasting company and raises serious questions about journalistic integrity within the Dutch media landscape.
The deception, which began airing earlier in 2025, involved a purported inquiry into match-fixing and other illicit practices. Today Inside presenters Wilfred Genee, Johan Derksen, and René van der Gijp built a compelling, yet entirely untrue, case based on manipulated evidence and fabricated sources. The program garnered notable viewership and sparked widespread public outrage, leading to intense scrutiny of individuals falsely accused on air. The fallout is expected to include legal challenges and a thorough investigation into the program’s production and editorial oversight.
The revelation came after a court ruling on November 20, 2025, dismissing all claims made by Today Inside regarding the alleged criminal network. The judge condemned the program’s methods as “irresponsible and damaging,” and ordered SBS6 to retract the false statements. The program has been temporarily suspended pending a full internal review.
