The Netherlands: PM refuses new inquiry into Lockheed bribery affair

The new inquiry was called for by left-wing liberal D66 party leader Alexander Pechtold who wanted a commission of historians set up to bring clarity to the affair after historian Gerard Aalders said Bernhard’s involvement was greater than so far thought.
