Eight Year Jail Sentence for Izaan & Lorenzo for Abduction of Millionaire’s Daughter Claudia Melchers

If kidnapping charges are good enough for Izaan Moenir Alam and Lorenzo, why not Joran Van der Sloot and the Kalpoes?

An Amsterdam court has sentenced the two main suspects from Curacao, Izaan Moenir Alam and his cousin Lorenzo, to 10 and 8 years jail respectively for the abduction and kidnapping of a millionaire Hans Melchers’ daughter Claudia Melchers.

Interestingly enough, did not Joran Van der Sloot just recently admit in an interview with Greta Van Susteren that he sold Natalee Holloway to a Venezuela man for $10,000? In making such an admission, did he also not admit to kidnapping and human trafficking? So why didn’t Aruba prosecutors pursue these admissions from Joran Van der Sloot? They had no problem believing the Holiday Inn story or that Joran just left Natalee on the beach. Shouldn’t they at the very least investigate his own words and admissions? Kidnapping gets one 8 to 10 years, so Joran what did you say you did with Natalee Holloway? No matter how one looks at it, Natalee Holloway was taken from Carlos N’ Charlies and never returned to her hotel … is not that kidnapping?

Melchers was abducted from her home in Amsterdam South-East on September 12, 2005.  The kidnappers kept her in a vacation house for three days and released her in the neighbourhood of Arnhem.  The ransom was never paid.  According to the court, Izaan has definitely played a ‘leading part’ in the carrying out of the abduction.  Lorenzo was the brain behind the abduction, ‘the intellectual perpetrator’.  He was not involved in the actual carrying out of the abduction.

The court says that the suspects have invaded the mental and physical integrity of Melchers and because of that, harmed her trust in the fellow man.  The court says that Izaan and Lorenzo appeared to be ‘capable of degrading others to an instrument that they violently put into action in their craving for money’.
The court blames the kidnappers for having kidnapped Melchers from her own home and before the eyes of her children. What also weighed hard is the fact that they have chosen a completely innocent victim.  Izaan has confessed to the kidnapping.  Lorenzo denies every involvement, but the court doesn’t believe anything he’s saying though.
