The court further noted that the man from Geldermalsen did not want to answer many questions to the police. That was on the advice of his lawyer, he said during the hearing. He swore he was innocent. “I don’t like to take on a victim role, but I am a victim in this case. I am suspected of very, very serious crimes in my eyes. But I have nothing to do with extortion or shooting, that is nothing for me,” he said in a high tone.
