Nottingham Forest legend Bryan Roy sentenced in court after threatening to KILL Dutch prime minister Mark Rutte
NOTTINGHAM FOREST icon Bryan Roy has been sentenced after threatening to KILL Dutch prime minister Mark Rutte.
The 51-year-old told the politician he would ‘get a headshot soon’ on Twitter and has been given community service and a suspended prison sentence.
Roy will do 80 hours of community service after being sentenced by the police judge in The Hague.
And if he commits a crime again within two years he will serve four weeks in prison.
Roy’s offence occurred in April.
He responded to a tweet in which someone called for centre-right politician Rutte to resign.
The ex-winger wrote: “Headshot, will get it soon.”
A police report was filed which led to Roy’s arrest.
