In 2010 and 2011 Wilders was indicted for spreading hatred and discrimination against [[Muslims]], he was declared not guilty in June 2011<ref>https://www.forbes.com/sites/abigailesman/2011/06/23/geert-wilders-found-not-guilty-in-victory-for-free-speech/#14b206486a96</ref>
In 2014 after the Local elections in March, He has submitted a position paper to the audience if they wanted more or less Moroccans, making them afterwards "Fewer, fewer, fewer",in December of the same year, the Dutch public ministry decided that he should be re-prosecuted, the first session was on 18 March 2016, and the final verdict was at 9 December 2016 where he was declared guilty for incitement to discrimination and insulting a group, according to a Dutch law the Moroccans are a "race" within the meaning of Articles 137c and 137d of the Dutch Criminal Code.
A substantial proportion of the declarations against Wilders seems to be fake, which making the case from all sides smacks of dishonesty, also the most left-wing media give the impression that he made that statement in itself while this was merely a position and chanted the crowd,<ref>http://www.telegraaf.nl/binnenland/25376163/__Aangiften_Wilders_blijken_nep__.html</ref>
Wilders himself always called the judges "D66 judges" thus referring to the Progressive Liberal Party [[Democrats 66]].
