Johan Derksen retracts considerably after an angry email from Peter Plasman, the lawyer of Marco Borsato’s alleged victim. “It didn’t come from her, it came from Mary Borsato.”
It was a special comment that Johan Derksen made on Monday evening in Today Inside. He stated that Marco Borsato was blackmailed prior to the fornication case against him. “He knew this was coming and he could have bought it off. Afterwards I think: boy, if only he had bought it off, that would have saved you a lot of misery.”
Email from Plasman
How could Marco have bought this off? “I spoke to someone who is very well versed in the affair with Borsato. He said that they had already been working on him a few years ago, because he knew – that was just like with Johnny de Mol – that there was some kind of blackmail behind it,” Johan said at the time.
Well, that is quite an accusation against complainant A. and her mother Nathalie T. And their lawyer Peter Plasman does not let that be said lightly. “Yes, because Peter Plasman also sent me an email today. He also texted me if he could send you an email,” says Wilfred Genee in the Today Inside from last night.
Excited note
What did Peter send to Johan? The VI mustache says: “Peter Plasman did indeed send an excited note, but he was wrongly excited, because there was contact about buying off, but that did not come from the opposing party, but Borsato’s mother, Mary, played a role in that, because I think she saw it coming that a riot would take place.”
If Mary wanted to buy off the case, but the complainant did not comply, then there is of course no blackmail at all. VI gown Job Knoester: “If an attempt at bribery had been made on the side of that complainant or that mother, the defense would have brought it up immediately.”
Threat
Wilfred Genee therefore believes that there was no blackmail. “Then it would also have been a threat, said Peter Plasman. Then they would have used it now, but that is not the motive at all, not even for this girl.”
He concludes: “This girl just wants a form of justice that makes it clear that she was simply not treated well by Marco.”
