(Dutch News) Appeal court judges will … restart hearings in the Geert Wilders “fewer Moroccans” case, after rejecting claims of political interference.
Wilders had tried to get the court to question former justice minister Ivo Opstelten, in the wake of reports … that there was contact between Opstelten and the head of the public prosecution department about the case in 2014.
They also say Opstelten was keen to see Wilders prosecuted for leading the anti-Moroccan chant at a pre-election meeting.
However, the appeal court judges have rejected Wilders’ call for further delays, and the case will continue on Wednesday with an outline of the facts.
