Diario: Fraudulent Drivers License Case in Aruba … the usual Suspects Paul Van der Sloot & Gerold Dompig

DIARIO, September 8, 2007: den caso “rijbewijs gate, ”HUEZ DI ACUERDO CU PETICION DI VAN DER SLOOT, PA YAMA DOMPIG COMO TESTIGO Once again the usual suspects, Gerold Dompig and Paul Van der Sloot. Its nice to see that PVDS is a defense attorney for a suspected criminal. What a shock. The below article from Diario with references to van der Sloot and Dompig has to do with the following case in drivers license corruption case in Aruba. Jossy Mansur, Managing editor of Diario was kind enough to explain exactly what the gist of the article is as follows:

It has to do with a big case of corruption, in which fraudulent driver licenses were sold. Sloot was one of the defense lawyers for one of the implicated persons. Everyone of his proposals to the Judge (to void the citation, and to set his client free) were rejected. He then asked for Gerald Dompig to be put on the witness stand because he was in charge of the department that issues driver licenses at the time when the licenses were sold. The judge did grant Sloot the petition to put Dompig on the witness stand. Treatment of the case will continue on the 13th of September at 1:00 p.m.

When I asked Jossy Mansur whether the reference to van der Sloot was in fact the same infamous, Paul van der Sloot, he stated the following:

It is the same Paul van der Sloot, acting now as an attorney.
