An ex-Nottingham Forest star has been sentenced after making threats to shoot and kill a Dutch prime minister according to reports this week.
The ex-Premiership winger Bryan Roy has been handed a suspended jail sentence for threatening to shoot the Dutch prime minister Mark Rutte.
Roy, aged 51, bizarre took to his Twitter and then posted in response to a tweet where someone had called for leader Rutte to resign.
Roy’s response was translated from Dutch as saying “You’ll get a headshot soon”.
He was sentenced last Thursday in the Hague, where he was ordered to do 80 hours of community service.
He was also placed on probation for two years, with a prison sentence of four weeks to follow if he re-offends within that time.
The offence occurred in April this year and with further details being made public, it’s really got people talking.
According to articles published out in Netherlands, he is said to have posted the tweet because he is ‘fighting for the children who are being abused, trafficked and mistreated’.
