Dutch member of parliament Sharpe resigns amid scandals

2010-11-18 08:33:24 GMT+7 (ICT)

THE HAGUE (BNO NEWS) -- Dutch Party for Freedom (PVV) politician James Sharpe surrendered his seat in parliament on early Thursday morning, according to a newspaper report.

The resignation comes amid a row of scandals that have hit the controversial right-wing coalition partner. Sharpe had faced increasing criticism after Dutch television program Pownews revealed that his company had been fined in Hungary in 2008 for misleading customers.

'De Telegraaf' newspaper said Sharpe would surrender his seat in parliament, which will enable the PVV to replace him. Party leader Geert Wilders said he respected his decision.
