(Dutch News) The public prosecution department said on Monday that it had found no evidence of political interference in the decision to prosecute anti-Islam campaigner and MP Geert Wilders for discrimination after leading supporters in an anti-Moroccan chant.
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.
The finding was made public during Monday’s procedural court hearing, which was not attended by either Wilders or his lawyer. They say all documents relating to the case should be made public before the hearings can resume.
