Amigoe: Preliminary investigation Holloway-case almost wound up (Van der Sloots claim 531.000 florins in Damages)

 

That’s correct Aruba, 531.000 florins in damages. This is what the Van der Sloot family is claiming that they are owed by the government, which in turn is your tax dollars or florins as the case may be. In a case where so many have claimed that the Holloway’s and Twitty’s were some how in it for the money as they have a daughter missing; the Van der Sloots look to cash in for 531.000 florins or approximately 296,648.06 US Dollars.

The family indicated that the compensation for emotional damages as the result of the criminal preliminary investigation on Joran as well as on his father Paul van der Sloot is 350.000 florins and the material damages 144.000, an additional 25.000 florins due to means of coercion, and 11.935 florins in legal costs.

An entire law suit predicated upon a lie. Whether any one believes Joran Van der Sloot’s latest version of the truth or not; the damages that the Van der Sloot family is claiming was brought on them by one of their own family members. Joran Van der Sloot has admitted that he lied to investigators from the outset. Of course many believe he and the Kalpoe brothers continue to lie; however, the initial lies by these suspects created the environment in Aruba whereas Joran and Paulas Van der Sloot were arrested. One would hope that Dutch law has the concept known as mitigation of damages.”

The people of Aruba really need to take a good look at what is happening here and where their tax dollars are about to be spent. Who created the swarm of controversy and the legal problem that Joran Van der Sloot presently finds himself in as he is still a suspect in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway? Also, who created the environment that in turn implicated Paulas Van der Sloot in to the disappearance as well?

HINT: IT WAS JORAN’s LIES.

Honestly, why should these people get paid a dime? Paulas van der Sloot has no one to blame but his son for implicating him and creating what they perceive as a nightmare. Van der Sloots, a real nightmare is losing your child. If it were not for Joran’s and the Kalpoe’s lies none of this would ever have occurred. Imagine if they had all just been truthful to the police and investigators from the beginning. Instead of lies, lies and more lies. This obviously brings up the separate question of why does someone lie and continue to do so when that lie puts you in prison? Even in prison the lies continued. Joran states he was scared. More scared than going to and being in prison? Hardly, but these lies had consequences and Joran and his family. Now they look to benefit from their son’s misdeeds or worse. So this family is to be rewarded for lies? If they receive a dime that is in essence what has occurred.

Would the Van der Sloot family find themselves being able to claim damages if it were not for Joran’s lies? The answer is most likely, no. So how exactly is this family supposed to benefit, including Joran Van der Sloot, from a situation that they created?

It is the equivalent of a child pulling a fire alarm at a school as a prank. The fire department shows up to investigated the presumed fire and in the process the child that pulled the fire alarm and the family that come to the scene to check on their child because of the fire that was reported get hurt in the commotion. Is that family in turn supposed to be rewarded for injuries that never would have occurred if their son had not committed an illegal act in the first place? The answer is, no.

ARUBA — From the interlocutory injunction in the damages case of the family Van der Sloot it is understood that the Public Prosecutor (OM) expects to wind up the preliminary investigation in the Holloway-case this month. Without insight into the criminal preliminary investigation, the judge does not want give a verdict. The file of the criminal preliminary investigation can only be released to the judge when the investigation is wound up. The family Van der Sloot claims 531.000 florins.

The family indicated that the compensation for emotional damages as the result of the criminal preliminary investigation on Joran as well as on his father Paul van der Sloot is 350.000 florins and the material damages 144.000, an additional 25.000 florins due to means of coercion, and 11.935 florins in legal costs.

According to the OM, 25.000 florins compensation is enough for the family.

During the hearing in January, an important question was whether the judge should be acquainted with the entire file in order to decide on the claim for damages. The OM indicated then that the entire file will be made available in March and that shortly after that, they will decide on further persecution. The judge decided to wait for this, especially because Joran is also one of the claimants. The criminal preliminary investigation against him is still open. Based on the file, the judge also wants to be able to determine whether ‘other means of coercion’ are applied and if those have caused damages, like the family says. The judge decided first that only Paul van der Sloot would possibly qualify for damages, but the Court of Appeals decided that all the five members of the family can qualify for damages.
