Dutch police arrest and release former far-right party member amid reports of possible plan to attack Prime Minister

Arnoud Van Doorn, who once served as a senior political adviser for populist Freedom Party leader In a statement issued to CNN, Van Doorne’s lawyer, Anis Boumanjal, dismissed the allegations, saying they are “devoid of reality” and “not supported by facts.””The DKDB based the arrest on the fact that my client exhibited suspicious behavior but have otherwise left us in the dark as to what exactly is understood by said suspicious behaviour,” the statement says. It adds Van Doorn was in the same area as Rutte because his mother lives there and he visits the same cafe as the Prime Minister. He also apparently visited a fitness center the Prime Minister belongs to, inquiring about rates and operating hours, the attorney said.CNN has reached out to the Prime Minister’s office for comment.
