John van den Heuvel gets Telegraaf colleague one after the other on his roof. This week he already got a slap on the fingers of Valentijn Driessen and now Evert Santegoeds is coming over him. “At!”
It seems a bit that John van den Heuvel is losing his authority. Because of that weird reality soap over Gordon, his credibility has already sustained a dent, but writing the preface of the book by murderer Joran van der Sloot ensures that many people have started to doubt him. Why does he do that?!
Authority at stake
John is slowly but surely losing authority and it is now so bad that he is being attacked by his own Telegraaf colleagues. Valentijn Driessen, sports journalist from the newspaper, finds it, for example, reprehensible and rancid that Joran helps a murderer in money. After all: John contributes to the sale of that book.
And now Evert Santegoeds, boss of page Privé, also speaks out against him. He believes that John is far too resolutely about the Marco Borsato case. The crime journalist has declared him guilty. On the other hand, Evert consciously has deliberately covered the case for a long time.
Very resolutely
Bram Moszkowicz has it in the Shownieuws From last night about the Marco Borsato case. “John van den Heuvel has been very involved in this from the start, because he has had access to the police file and had contact with the alleged victim and he is very resolutely in it.”
Evert Snert: “Well, a bit too much.”
Bram: “Yes, you can find that too, but …”
‘For a journalist’
Evert then questioning John’s professionalism. “For a journalist? Yes, I think it’s too much. “
Bram: “Well, but he says:” I spoke with the victim, I have had access to the report and in the police file, “so he knows more than you and me and he thinks it’s a fairly strong matter. I don’t know that, but that’s what he says. “
Over -step
Evert finds it doubtful. “But the diary still had to be investigated when he already found it, so he is walking a little too many steps, right?”
Bram: “Yes, but they may have been overtaken in the meantime, right? I don’t know, but … “
Anyway, Bram continues: “The OM has come up with a statement in which the defense of Borsato actually gets a small correction.”
In court
Then John appears in the picture. He says in an item: “I hope, just like those directly involved, that is the complainant and Marco Borsato himself, that that case comes to court as soon as possible. I think it is very much that it takes so long. Incidentally, I think it is wrong that sometimes the impression is given that that is all the fault of the judiciary. “
“This case has been delayed a lot, because a lot of research wishes were submitted from the side of the defense of Marco Borsato and many witnesses had to be heard. That is of course all the right of a suspect, but then it cannot be that you say, “It all takes too long.”
Punishment
It is even worse when Marco will beg for a penal discount, John said. “That he will be advocating in court:” Yes, he might just have to get a reduction in a penalty because it all took too long. ” Yes, that is partly caused by these kinds of requests. “
“Let’s all not forget that it is not only annoying for Marco Borsato, but also very annoying for those who made a report against Marco Borsato.”
