Court to decide if Wilders’ prosecution should continue

Amsterdam district court will today decide if legal action against PVV leader Geert Wilders on charges of inciting hatred and discrimination should continue, the Telegraaf reports.


Wilders’ lawyer Bram Moszkowicz said at the beginning of this month that his client would not get a fair trial and urged the court to abandon the case.
Moszkowicz’ argument centres on a senior court official who was influential in ensuring Wilders was taken to court even though the public prosecution department was unwilling to pursue the case.
