Arms trader faces 20-years for war crimes
The public prosecution department says arms trader Guus Kouwenhoven should face a 20 year jail sentence if the appeal court finds him guilty of war crimes and illegal arms trading with Liberia during the 2000-2003 civil war.
Kouwenhoven was found guilty of arms trading but freed on war crimes charges by a lower court in June 2006.
