Posted in: Aruba,Crime,Missing Persons,Natalee Holloway

Its official … Aruba has agreed to the conditions that the Netherlands National Police Corps, KLPDKLPD, will assist in the investigation into the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. It appears that even though it was Rudy Croes who initially requested the Dutch assistance, he was absent from the meeting that formally approved the conditions.

Remkes indicated at the end of the meeting with prime minister Nelson Oduber (MEP) that Aruba has agreed with the conditions that the Netherlands had associated with the assistance.  Specialists of the Korps Landelijke Politie Diensten (National Police Corps, KLPD) will lead the location and will also get total tracing authorities.  The KLPD-detectives are allowed to carry weapons and will get accessibility to all technical tracing-means.  “So the team can start”, said Remkes.   

The detectives from The Netherlands will travel to Aruba in a few weeks. This is the final chance for Aruba to help their tourism. Can the Dutch bail Aruba out of the problem that was created by the incompetent investigation and the presumed cover-up?KLPD 2

The detectives will travel to Aruba in a few weeks.  The minister couldn’t say yet how many detectives will come to Aruba; he thinks between 5 and 15.  He expects the investigation to last for weeks and not months.  The Netherlands will pay for the costs.

Remember this Vanderbilt – ‘06 Classic … Can the KLPD add enough professionalism to the fiasco in Aruba??

ARUBA – The Dutch minister of Home Affairs, Johan Remkes (VVD) has approved the assistance of the Netherlands in the investigation on the disappearance of the American teenager Natalee Holloway.  That happened in the absence of Justice-minister Rudy Croes (MEP).  It was Croes that requested Dutch assistance.  Remkes indicated at the end of the meeting with prime minister Nelson Oduber (MEP) that Aruba has agreed with the conditions that the Netherlands had associated with the assistance.  Specialists of the Korps Landelijke Politie Diensten (National Police Corps, KLPD) will lead the location and will also get total tracing authorities.  The KLPD-detectives are allowed to carry weapons and will get accessibility to all technical tracing-means.  “So the team can start”, said Remkes.   

The detectives will travel to Aruba in a few weeks.  The minister couldn’t say yet how many detectives will come to Aruba; he thinks between 5 and 15.  He expects the investigation to last for weeks and not months.  The Netherlands will pay for the costs. Remkes denied the rumours about discontinuing the services of the Detective Collaboration Team (RST).  He said that they are looking into improving the effectiveness of the RST.   Aruba can have an important role in this study.  Remkes was kind of irritated about the fact that minister Rudy Croes was not present at the meeting, during which they also talked about the improvement of the Aruban police.  Remkes said that if Croes wanted to give his opinion, he should have been present.   

Remkes didn’t want to comment on a future structure with possibly one attorney general and one police corps for Aruba and the islands of the current Neth.Antilles. 

“The conversations on this are just orientated.  That will happen more often in the coming months.  The Netherlands will just have a listening position in these conversations.  If you want to choose for a different structure, you will have to be sure that it is also better for the people.”
