Marco Borsato has been silent for years about the accusations at his address, and his lawyer Geert-Jan Knoops has only stretched the waiting period. Is the singer a victim of his bizarre hourly rate?
According to Het Parool, there is a disciplinary complaint against the office of lawyer Carry and Geert-Jan Knoops due to exorbitant rates. His gage varies up to 650 euros per hour, but a lawyer can of course write for hours what he or she wants – the client is not there. The disciplinary complaint is about a declaration of 215 thousand euros.
Cash hard?
The longer a case lasts, the more money Carry and Geert-Jan catch. It is therefore quite salient that Marco Borsato has not been allowed to say anything about them for years, while according to John van den Heuvel they have only trained the own, namely by suddenly druming 29 witnesses at an advanced stage. “That could have been a long time ago.”
Are the buttons just cashing hard? VI-Toga Job Knoester has a bitter feeling. “Those rates are very different, but if you declare 600 euros per hour to a private individual … I find that antisocial. (…) I think … I am not going to ask for those kinds of amounts. I find that abnormal,” he says in Today Inside.
‘Already pity’
Johan Derksen does not exclude the fact that Marco is a victim of the buttons. “I already feel sorry for Marco Borsato, because they have been accompanied them for about three years now and they want to cheat rather with the hours, so he gets a bill that gives a horse the hiccups.”
René van der Gijp: “He will have already had a few bills. He will not come in one go.”
Job: “I think so, yes.”
Shocked
Wilfred Genee points out that Marco has become so thick. “That is why he might have seen a little worse from the latter. He was shocked of course.”
René: “He has had a few.”
Job: “Do you understand that? If he denies and that case runs for almost four years, then you say at a very early stage:” I didn’t do it, I will come back to it later, “but we didn’t really hear him so firmly. I don’t understand that strategy.”
Filthy
Johan completely believes Marco. “Yes, but Job, it all smells according to filth. It is the daughter of a lady who worked with him and had some sympathy for him. He seems to have not been so interested in it and at some garden party – he was a sort of second father for her, I don’t even know how old she was – he cuddled her.”
Wilfred: “Well, there was something more going on, I think.”
Finally, Johan: “Later when the fight with mothers were walking, a declaration was suddenly reported. That seems difficult to prove.”
Marco has to appear before the court in Utrecht on Tuesday 28 and Thursday 30 October, it was announced yesterday.
