While farm policy was not a central issue for Fortuyn, he is reported to have once said he would lift a current ban on mink farming. Prosecutors on Friday said they had located the names of three other Fortuyn List candidates and maps of their neighborhoods in Van der Graaf's car, and were investigating a videotape that showed the suspect conferring with two others in a city where Fortuyn was speaking earlier on the day of his murder.
