Excerpt:
Anti-Islam politician Geert Wilders last year tried to claim between €500,000 and €600,000 as parliamentary expenses for legal fees incurred during a trial for inciting hatred, the Volkskrant said on Saturday.
Sources told the paper Wilders' claim was rejected after discussions between members of parliament's management committee, known as the presidium and on the advice of an accountant.
Parliamentary parties are allowed to submit expenses claims to the presidium if they are for services needed to support their work.
