(NL Times) The nine terrorist suspects arrested in Eindhoven one week ago did not have a concrete plan to attack politicians, lawyer of two of the suspect[s] Peter Plasman said. The suspects are alleged to have prepared to target Prime Minister Mark Rutte, PVV leader Geert Wilders and FvD leader Thierry Baudet, sources close to the investigation told De Telegraaf.
The accusation was based on a conversation that the suspects had while planning to watch a film on Netflix, in which nasty texts mentioning the politicians were exchanged. “But there was never talk of a serious plan where it was discussed who would carry out the plan and what would happen,” Plasman said. His clients “called themselves stupid for participating in the conversation,” according to the lawyer.
