Police arrested 40-year-old Mohamad E. in November on suspicion of involvement in threats against Princess Amalia, the daughter of King Willem-Alexander and heir to the thrown. This was confirmed by a spokesperson for the Public Prosecution Office following reports from Het Parool on Friday. However, he is no longer considered a suspect in that case, but is still being held in pre-trial detention on several other serious charges.
Prime Minister Mark Rutte will visit King Willem-Alexander on Saturday to inform him about the fall of the Cabinet. The meeting will take place at the Huis ten Bosch palace in The Hague. Rutte had already written to the king on Friday offering the Cabinet's resignation. "I will catch up with him tomorrow and explain exactly what happened," the prime minister said about his visit to Willem-Alexander on Saturday. The king must return from abroad for this.
