Now that the legal costs in the criminal case against Marco Borsato are on the street, many people are wondering: why does Geert-Jan Knoops earn more than his wife Carry Knoops? “100 euros difference.”
Marco Borsato wants to get the lawyer’s fees back from the state and that is why it is now public how much money he paid to the lawyer couple Geert-Jan and Carry Knoops: 391 thousand euros. “This amount is over a period of six years, including VAT,” she said. The court will now decide whether they think that is a reasonable amount.
650 euros
Telegraaf reporter Jordi Versteegden is surprised. “I thought it would be more. We all know what they earn, right, the Knoopjes. They earn 650 and 550 euros per hour,” he says in Show news.
Colleague Bart Ettekoven: “It remains intriguing. I hope that the next time we have them in front of the camera we will ask them again why he earns more than them. In this time of equality.”
Savings port
Bart doesn’t understand it. “It is a time when there is a constant discussion about why men earn more than women. I think it is an interesting one.”
Jordi: “At the same time, it ends up in the same piggy bank.”
Bart: “In the end it doesn’t matter.”
Presenter Dyantha Brooks: “No, no. I’m immediately thinking whether we have openness here at the table.”
Jordi: “About salary? Well, let’s start with you!”
Dyantha: “We’re not doing it!”
A lot
What does RTL Boulevard gown Clarice Stenger think of those four tons? “I thought it would be more, so it wasn’t too bad for me. But almost four hundred thousand euros for an indecent case is just a lot of money,” she says in the show section.
She continues: “It is not the case that everyone should now think that you simply have to pay four hundred thousand euros for an indecent case. Look, Marco has agreed to this. It is at the Knoopjes and then you know that it costs money.”
Finally: would Marco have also lost this with Clarice? “If it had cost this, I don’t think I would be standing here!”
