Dutch
police are not investigating any new threats against far-right leader Geert
Wilders, and there are no indications that he is facing additional risks, the
public prosecution department has told the Telegraaf.
Wilders
has suspended public appearances for the ongoing election campaign following
the arrest of three men in Belgium who are suspected of plotting terrorist
attacks.
Belgian
investigators have not commented officially on whether Wilders was a target,
but the PVV leader said on social media that the Dutch counter-terrorism unit
NCTV had informed him he was.
Two young
men from Antwerp remain in custody in connection with the alleged plot, which
centred on Belgian prime minister Bart De Wever. The third has been released.
Wilders
has since pulled out of several election debates, despite being offered
alternative locations and the option of taking part by phone or video link.
The next
televised debate will be broadcast by SBS on October 23. As yet it is unclear
if he will take part.
Wilders
has been living under heavy security for the past 21 years following his
outspoken criticism of radical Islam.
