Who are the so-called ‘Three Musketeers’ who leaked the already infamous Khalid Kasem tapes to AD? “It could be that this was leaked by an heir of Peter R. de Vries.”
Khalid Kasem’s TV career has come to an abrupt halt due to revelations from the AD, and it is now no longer possible to fall back on his career as a lawyer. In audio recordings that the newspaper received from the anonymous source ‘De Drie Musketeers’, the presenter admits to having bribed an official. Where do those tapes come from?
Relatives?
Lars Duursma, our country’s best-known communications expert, wonders. “It appears to be digital recordings, for example from an iCloud backup, if you use your dictaphone app there. A few options have already been mentioned in the media. That there were hackers who hacked Peter R. de Vries’ iCloud account.”
However, there are more possibilities, he says The Communicados. “I think there are two other options you can take with you. One is of course that Peter R. de Vries’ heirs have been given access to his iCloud account. And in this case it won’t be Royce who brought it out, but it could be someone else.”
Tahmina?
Hey, who does Lars mean? Is it that chick who was looking for attention all the time as the girlfriend of Peter R. de Vries? Is Tahmina Akefi, who is pursuing a glorious TV career, jealous that Khalid has a talk show and she doesn’t? Or is it Wouter de Vries, the famous brother of Peter R.? Is this a realistic scenario? Possibly not.
Lars: “Something that I would certainly not rule out is that during the police investigation into the murder of Peter R. de Vries, the police or the Public Prosecution Service had access to recordings in his iCloud account and that they passed this on to the A.D. You don’t know, but it could just be.”
Very curious
The big question is: will there be more leaks? Was the intention to hit Khalid? Or perhaps Peter’s son Royce de Vries? Co-host Victor Vlam: “I’m very curious to see what other things Peter R. has recorded on all those tapes he apparently has lying around, because if he recorded it all, then yes…”
He continues: “I think there are many more conversations that he recorded and I can imagine that there are quite a few people who get a bit nervous.”
Musketeers
Lars doesn’t rule it out. “Yes, that you once had a conversation with him and you still wondered: is this going to leak out somehow?”
That depends on who The Three Musketeers are, he concludes. Victor: “It is indeed pure speculation. We just don’t know that at all at the moment.”
