Jozef Franciscus Bernard "Jos" van Rey (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈjoːzə frɑnˈsɪskʏz ˈbɛrnɑrt fɑn ˈrɛi, ˈjɔs fɑn ˈrɛi]; born 15 April 1945) is a Dutch businessman and politician from Roermond. He has been a member of the municipal council of Roermond for the Liberal People's Party Roermond since 2014 and a member of the States of Limburg for the People's Party Limburg since 2015. For the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy, Van Rey was a member of the municipal council of Roermond (1974–1986; 1991–2002), an alderman of Roermond (1979–1982; 1998–2012), a member of the States of Limburg (1982; 1995–2011), a member of the House of Representatives (1982–1989; 1991–1998), and member of the Senate (2011–2012). In 2013, he was expelled from the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy after co-founding the Liberal People's Party Roermond. Between 2012 and 2016, he was investigated for political corruption. In 2016 and 2017, he was convicted for bribery, disclosure of confidential information, electoral fraud, and money laundering. He received a suspended prison sentence of one year and was disqualified to hold public office for two years. Since then, his Liberal People's Party Roermond has become the largest party in Roermond in every municipal election, and Van Rey is always elected to the council with preferential votes as the list pusher. This was also the case in the elections of March 18, 2022.
