A Dutch court on Monday sentenced a former Pakistani cricketer to 12 years in prison over allegations that he had offered a reward for the death of firebrand anti-Islam Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilders.
The suspect, identified by Wilders as Khalid Latif, is accused of offering a bounty of about $23,000 to anybody who killed Wilders.
Latif did not appear in the high-security courtroom near Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport for the trial and he was not represented by a lawyer.
He is believed to be in Pakistan, which has no extradition agreement with the Netherlands.
