Ruud de Wild thinks it is incredibly hypocritical that John van den Heuvel once punished him for his interview with Willem Holleeder, but now joining forces with Joran van der Sloot.
John van den Heuvel will be expensive. RTL Boulevard makes frantic attempts to raise him as an authority in the field of crime journalism, but the masses of the way in which he joins Joran van der Sloot. De Telegraaf star helps Joran to cash by writing the preface of his book.
A bit crazy
Ruud de Wild finds the journalist laughable hypocritical. “What concerns me a bit … I have now seen that book from the outside, but Twan Huys and I have been tackled quite well by John van den Heuvel at the time because we have interviewed Holleeder, but now I see that John van den Heuvel has written the preface . “
It is almost unbelievable, the radio maker continues in his program NPO Radio 2. “And then I thought: I think that’s a bit crazy again.”
Drink blood
TV maker Kees van der Spek, who is a guest by telephone at Ruud, says: “Yes, but of course he must know that. Look, I was already asked: “Would you write the preface?” Well, Joran would never ask me, because he could drink my blood. “
Ruud: “Would you do it then?”
Kees: “No, I wouldn’t do it, but it’s John’s own choice.”
“Why do you think?”
Ruud can’t reach it with his cap. “But why could John van den Heuvel do it then? What do you think then? Why he does it at Joran now? “
Kees: “John already has a fairly long relationship with Joran. He once traveled to Aruba about ten, twelve years ago after that murder of Stephanie Flores, found a travel bag for Joran, who was then in prison in Peru and he then offered it: “Will I bring it?”
Bond
John brought that travel bag. “From that moment on, a kind of band has emerged and John has often visited him in prison. You can find everything about that, but you have to ask John. “
Ruud: “It’s about it: he helps Joran van der Sloot enrich, because he earns money with this?”
Kees: “That’s what I say. The moment Joran van der Sloot makes money with this, that money has to go to those relatives and the first 25,000 euros to the mother of Natalee Holloway. But I don’t know how that is financially with John. It seems to me that John does not mean anything financially. That would be strange, I don’t believe that either. “
“Don’t seem to me”
It would be bad if John did cash with it, says Ruud. “No, that doesn’t seem to me anyway.”
Kees: “No, he doesn’t need that at all.”
Ruud: “And if we find out, you’ll get him on television, don’t you, I think?”
Kees: “Ha, no, let John caps his own beans, then I do mine.”
