(Dutch News) Justice minister Ferd Grapperhaus has been ordered by judges to redouble his efforts to find documents relating to the decision to take PVV leader Geert Wilders to court for his “fewer Moroccans” chant in 2014.
RTL Nieuws went to court using freedom of information legislation in an effort to get hold of more documents relating to the case. In particular, RTL wants to know if former justice minister Ivo Opstelten was involved in the decision to prosecute Wilders.
Wilders has called on the public prosecution department to drop the case, alleging that there was political interference in the decision-making process, but the department has consistently denied coming under ministerial pressure.
