Natalee Holloway Missing in Aruba: Justice Minister Rudy Croes Says Van der Straten Delayed the Start of Investigations to Protect Van der Sloot (Cronyism & Cover Up)

Breaking News … there was cronyism and a cover up in Aruba in the investigation of missing Natalee Holloway.

Really? There was a cover up and obstruction in the case of missing Natalee Holloway in Aruba? Say it isn’t so. How could anyone not have come to that conclusion?

Nearly three and a half years later after Alabama teen Natalee Holloway went missing on Aruba, Aruban Justice Minister Rudy Croes has finally come out and stated what all of us knew all along. Aruba’s Justice Minister Rudy Croes stated that police commissioner Jan van der Straten obstructed the investigation of missing Natalee Holloway in order to protect his friend Paulus Van der Sloot, the father of suspect Joran Van der Sloot. How could any rational thinking person not have determined that there was an orchestrated cover up in this case when the last three people, Joran Van der Sloot, Deepak and Satish Kalpoe, were allowed to roam free and two black security guards were immediately arrested to take the fall?

Jan Van der Straten

Remember how we said there is a little truth in every lie that comes from a sociopath? We go back to the VIDEO in a recent interview where Joran Van der Sloot stated there were police bribes. Was it the police that Joran named in the video? Probably not. Were there actual police bribes and cover ups that obstructed the investigation? According to Rudy Croes there certainly was.

Even farther back, remember when Joran Van der Sloot was once again on video with Dutch crime investigatior Peter R. de Vries when Joran Van der Sloot out of the clear blue stated that his parents had no involvement in the disposal of Natalee Holloway’s body. Interestingly enough, no one ever asked him the question.

Paulus & Joran Van der Sloot

Dutch police commissioner Jan van der Straten actively frustrated investigations on the island of Aruba into the disappearance of US teenager Natalee Holloway.

Aruba’s Justice Minister Rudy Croes confirmed on Thursday that Van der Straten delayed the start of investigations in order to protect his friend, Paulus van der Sloot, the father of Joran who is the main suspect in the case. Paulus was working for the Justice Ministry at the time.

Minister Croes made his public statement about the commissioner’s dallying following critical remarks by Van der Straten about Aruba’s police. Shortly after Natalee’s disappearance in 2005, the Dutch police commissioner was overheard saying “I cannot do this to my friend Paul”.

The Justice Minister says there were remarkably frequent phone conversations between Jan van der Straten and Paul van der Sloot in the first days after the American teenager went missing.

Justice Minister Rudy Croes also went on to say that Van der Straten of put a “second rate police team” on the Holloway case. Gee Rudy, what to you so long to come around? For years we have been told that the police were competent and actively doing their job as the world looked on and referred to the ALE as the “Key Stone Cops”.

“They stand by while Aruba’s name is being dragged through the mud. We were asked in 2005 to hide the fact that Joran is a Dutchman. A Dutch minister – I won’t say who – personally asked us to present Joran as an Aruban.”

DADDY VAN DER SLOOT HELPED JORAN

The Dutchman Jan van der Straten who in 2005 as Police commissioner in Aruba, was put on the Natalee Holloway case, has seriously hindered the research in the early stages. This to help his friend Paul van der Sloot to protect his son Joran who was suspected of involvement in the disappearance of the U.S. girl.
This the Aruban Justice Minister Rudy Croes confirmed Thursday. The allegation already circulated on the island. The minister has come forward with this because Van der Straten this week in the media voiced his criticism at the Aruban police force.

Aware

According to Croes, it seems that the old Police-commissioner deliberately arrested Joran and two other defendants only after ten days, “while the first days in a disappearance case are crucial”. In a conversation he in that period heard the Minister Van der Straten say: ‘I can’t do that to my friend Paul.”Croes finds it suspicious that when there was a lot of telephone traffic between Paul van der Sloot and chief-investigator Van der Straten. Besides that Van der Straten supposedly, deployed an ‘inferior’ police-team, shortly after Natalee’s disappearance. ‘That was the ‘flexi-team’, a team that is deployed”during carnival, Croes explained. He wants a new investigation into the role of Van der Straten and Van der Sloot: “As two Dutch friends, Paul and Jan helped each other.”

Criticism

Also the Dutch government gets some criticism from the Aruban Minister. ‘Until this day we internationally get no moral support of the Netherlands, while the Aruban name is sullied. In 2005, we were asked if possible to suppress that Joran is a Dutchman. He had to look like an Aruban as much as possible. A Dutch minister – I am not saying who -personally asked for that.” (Hat Tip: EU Robert)
