Dutch court jails Pakistan's ex-cricketer over bounty on lawmaker

A Dutch court Monday sentenced a former Pakistani cricketer to 12 years in prison over allegations that he incited people to kill anti-Islam lawmaker Geert Wilders. Khalid Latif, 37, stood accused of offering a bounty of some ₹21,000 to anybody who killed Wilders. Latif did not appear in the courtroom and he was not represented by a lawyer. He's believed to be in Pakistan, which has no extradition pact with the Netherlands.Throughout the trial, Latif was not identified by name, but prosecutors said that a video posted online in 2018 showed a Pakistan cricketer offering the money. Wilders himself identified the suspect as Latif.
