Diario: Geoffrey van Cromvoirt evaluating whether he will sue for damages for prejudice

Diario; May 9, 2006: GEOFFREY VAN CROMVOIRT TA EVALUA SI E TA BAY ENTAMA CASO DI DAÃ’O Y PERHUICIO

Now Geoffrey van Cromvoirt is contemplating suing the Aruban government for being considered a suspect. Looks like it is dà ©jà   vu all over again. Looks like individuals have a better shot of making money in Aruba by suing the Aruban government for false imprisonment than they do at the casinos.

“Geoffrey’s detention caused a lot of harm to our family. My wife is very much in despair”. This, according to Geoffrey’s father, Willem van Cromvoirt. Officially, the Dutch youth is still a suspect in this case, but the father hopes that the case will be dismissed.

Now, family lawyers are evaluating the possibility of bringing a case for damages for prejudice.

Seems like quite the legal system. Detain an individual under the rules of Dutch/Aruban legal system and then have the suspect sue for damages. Just how is one supposed to investigate a crime in Aruba? It would appear that detaining an individual is part of the investigation and questioning process by law. GVC was not detained any further beyond the initial arrest as was Joran Van der Sloot and the Kalpoes, so where is the problem? If GVC was detained due to a tip that someone called in then for once the ALE actually did their job and followed up immediately. For that they are sued? We have learned over the past 11 months, any thing is possible in Aruba.

Geoffrey van Cromvoirt evaluating whether he will sue for damages for prejudice

AMSTERDAM – Geoffrey van Cromvoirt, in an interview with SBS 6 Actienieuws of Holland, said that he doesn’t have anything to do with the disappearance of Natalee Holloway.

The young Dutch 19 year old came into the picture after the ‘Opsporing Verzocht’ program, which was recorded in Aruba, aired.

He could have seemed to be another person in the case. Ironically, van Cromvoirt had wanted to participate in the reenactment of the case along with his sister. “I’ve always wanted to appear on television, but not in this way”. The Dutch youth was asked via telephone to go to the police station one week after ‘Opsporing Verzocht’ aired.

When he went to the police station, he was detained immediately. The accusations were rape and murder.

Three Suspects Remain Primary Focus in Natalee Holloway disappearance no Matter what others Say

Over the weekend on Fox News, The Line Up, Tito Lacle stated that Joran Van der Sloot, Deepak and Satish Kalpoe were still the primary suspects in the case of the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. Also that Joran Van der Sloot.

Kim Guilfoyle : There are a lot people’s names thrown around. What importance do they have? Steve Croes he’s supposed to be friends with GVC.

Tito: He came in and spoke his mind. He was then arrested the only three people that have a clue to the case are Joran and the Kalpoes.

Kimberly: Do they remain primary suspects

Tito: Those three are primary and the most primary is Joran

It is attorney Joe Tacopina’s job to deflect attention away from his client. Deflect he does, coming up with room key cards and DNA on shirts as if this was new to the investigation. With a complicit media who will take any nugget of news in the Natalee Holloway disappearance, he certainly found a willing partner to get his agenda out to the public as he appeared on more cable shows than did Dave Holloway when Dave was doing his book tour. Tito Lacle also went on to say the following with regards to the DNA on a shirt that was found that Joe Tacopina tried to make an issue of.

Tito: The shirt is wiped out. That’s all blown away, that’s from last year, the press got hold of that but it’s nothing. These two people my sources are telling me are not co-operating so they will be picked up. They would not be people you arrest and they will break the case.
