(Dutch News) Efforts by Geert Wilders’ lawyer to have a court case for discrimination dismissed on the grounds of political interference have so far failed, but judges are planning to investigate the claim further.
Judges at the high-security court at Schiphol airport said on Thursday that the case would go ahead as planned but that “more research” is needed and this will take place during the actual trial.
Geert-Jan Knoops told the high-security court at Schiphol airport on Tuesday that the case against Wilders should be dropped after it transpired that the then-justice minister Ivo Opstelten had discussed the case with senior department officials.
