ORANJESTAD(AAN): Recently, DIARIO obtained an interview with Joran van der Sloot via telephone and asked him how he’s doing now that he’s back in Aruba.

As it is known, Joran arrived in Aruba on the 14 of December to spend Christmas and New Year’s with his family, after he left for Holland a few months ago to study.

He confirmed to DIARIO that he’s studying International Business and that it is going very well.

He explained that he still has not gone to any parties [in Aruba], but he has received visits from friends and family and is enjoying his time with loved ones.

DIARIO asked him if he’s recognized on the street, and he said that it’s true that this is the case.

At the time where he goes out, different people recognize him and wish him a merry Christmas and a happy new year for him and his family.

Joran explained to DIARIO that he cannot talk about the details of the case, until it is resolved, but he said that he does not believe that it is fair what Natalee Holloway’s mother is trying to do to Aruba, in regards to the boycott.

He said that he understands that the mother perhaps is angry at him, because she believes that he has something to do with the disappearance of Natalee, but this is not a reason to start a boycott against Aruba.

Joran said that Beth Twitty’s anger is unfounded, because he didn’t do anything bad to the American girl.

In what relates to the matter of the recording of Deepak Kalpoe, where supposedly the Dr. Phil program manipulated the tape, Joran told DIARIO that he doesn’t understand how Deepak does not look for a way to sue the program.

At the end of the interview he said that he is happy that he still hasn’t been bothered by the press here in Aruba, now that he’s back, and that he’s happy that he’s back to spend time with his family.
