Jozef Franciscus Bernard "Jos" van Rey (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈjoːzəf frɑnˈsɪskɵs ˈbɛrnɑrt jɔs vɑn rɛi]; born 15 April 1945) is a Dutch politician from Roermond.[1]
Van Rey was a member of the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (1965–2013), member of the States of Limburg (1982; 1995–2011), member of the House of Representatives (1982–1989; 1991–1998), and member of the Senate (2011–2012).[1]
Since 2012, Van Rey is suspected of political corruption and he is being prosecuted for alleged bribery, alleged disclosure of confidential information, and alleged electoral fraud.[1][2][3][4] The criminal trial started in the court of Rotterdam on 4 April 2016.[5]
In 2013, he co-founded the Liberal People's Party Roermond (LVR), after which he was expelled from the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) due to a conflict of interest.[6] In 2014, Van Rey was installed as a member of the Municipal Council in Roermond for the LVR.[7]
