ORANJESTAD – Yesterday still, the young G. v. Cromvoirt was detained related to the case of the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. Given that there has been quite a big amount of speculation from the moment of his detention, his lawyer Eline Lotter-Homan sent the following press release to refute any erroneous information that may be circulating on the street about her client and his family.

PERSISTENT SPECULATION

“Due to persistent speculation in the media, a press release is being sent to address the many incorrect statements. At the same time, it has to be said that it is difficult to address all of the baseless accusations. But at the same time, the facts mentioned in this release should not be perceived as a limitation of the explanation. At the same time, we will not go into details about the preliminary investigation. For this reason, the van Cromvoirt family distances itself categorically from all declarations about Geoffrey van Cromvoirt which could involve him in connection to the disappearance of Natalee Holloway or that give him a participative role (even if not active).

1. Geoffrey was not employed for the Visibility Team or VCB (Video
Camera Beveiligingssystemen & Consultancy N.V.) in the period of May – June 2005, nor did he have access to a uniform from the Visibility Team or VCB.

2. At no moment was the van Cromvoirt family previously heard related to the investigation of the disappearance of Natalee Holloway.

3. Geoffrey is not friends with, and has no relation to the three persons previously arrested in a previous phase.

4. VCB was not procured for the security of the Holiday Inn Hotel in the period of May and June of 2005.

5. VCB, in the period of May and June 2005 until today, did not install security cameras or operate them in the hotel strip, nor at the Holiday Inn or any other hotel.

6. VCB, in the period of May and June of 2005 until today, did not have access to the hotel strip, nor the Holiday Inn or any other hotel that had security cameras, and did nothing to be guilty of any eventual manipulation thereof.

The fact that this [release] was sent in Dutch, means that any translation discrepancy is not the responsibility of the attorney."

This is the content of the press release of the attorney of the young detainee Geoffrey van Cromvoirt, Eline Lotter-Homan.
