(NL Times) During the last day of hearings in the appeal of the hate speech trial against PVV leader Geert Wilders, the politician called for the case against him to be dropped, or that he at least be acquitted. According to Wilders, a letter a former cop sent to the media showed that the police investigation against him was steered. And recent riots in places like Utrecht and The Hague showed that he was not wrong in asking a group of his followers whether they want fewer Moroccans in 2014, AD reports.
A former police officer wrote to newspaper AD last month, saying that as a cop she had to record many reports filed against Wilders by people who “hardly or not at all” spoke the Dutch language. “Most of them were just able to say ‘Wilders report.’ Those reports were definitely staged,” the newspaper quoted the letter.
