Raatgever was sentenced last week to nine months in prison, three of which were suspended, for making incendiary threatening videos. These are aimed at, among others, the municipality of Bodegraven-Reeuwijk, the lawyer of the municipality and RIVM director Jaap van Dissel. Raatgever was arrested at the beginning of June in Siddeburen, on his girlfriend’s farm. Kat and Knevel are staying abroad and have not been arrested.
