Iirc it's not even an actual law, more of an agreement between all news organizations to not publish names like that. I seem to recall Geenstijl(Dutch "news" site) publishing full names and not getting in trouble over it.

Sometimes there is no law necessary because an industry regulates themselves. Which the Dutch press historically has done so, in this example.
