ORANJESTAD (AAN): In a conversation with Mr. Jorge Pesquera, CEO of the Aruba Hotel and Tourism Association (AHATA), we asked him about his point of view of 2005 in the hotel branch and our tourism, as well as his perspective for the year 2006.
Mr. Pesquera stated that the year 2005, even taking into account everything that happened with Natalee Holloway, in his opinion was a record year in sales and in the increased quality of the Aruba product. “Without a doubt”, he said.
He continued to say that the first 6 months of 2005 had a never before seen occupancy rate in Aruba. He added that for the two semesters [s/b quarters?] of the year that has just passed, they still have to take a look at the results.
“It is my understanding that taking into account what happened, we’re going to have a record year in the productivity level, occupancy and partner revenues this year”.
The AHATA CEO underlined that now the uncertainty is tied to what will happen in 2006. He expressed that he is very optimistic that through initiatives such as “Meet Aruba” and having a spirit of collaboration with Aruba Tourism Authority (ATA), with the respective ministry and that through converstations that have taken place with the tourism committee in Parliament, that this year will become a very productive one and that the future will hold the same.

He threatened case against Public Prosecutor if he did not obtain good conduct document
Paul van der Sloot will now work as a lawyer
Bon Dia Aruba
01/06/2006
ORANJESTAD – Last week, Mr. Paul van der Sloot attended court for a meeting. This was related to the fact that his contract with the government for his function as judge expired and the Court had to know what Mr. Paul van der Sloot was going to do. The options weren’t many. Either he left Aruba and establish himself back in Holland or he stayed in Aruba but had to look for another function.
WORK AS A LAWYER
A Bon Dia investigation demonstrates that Mr. Paul van der Sloot chose to stay in Aruba and that he wants to continue working as a lawyer given that he did not completely achieve his judgeship studies. There is a rumour circulating that Mr. Paul van der Sloot will work in the office of Mr. Carlo. Bon Dia Aruba called Mr. Carlo’s office for more information, but he couldn’t be located.
CASE AGAINST PUBLIC PROSECUTOR
Paul van der Sloot asked the judge to be registered as a lawyer. When making such a petition, the judge asks the Attorney General (AG) of Aruba if they have something against the person being registered as an attorney. The AG bases her advice on data from the “Justitiele Documentatiedienst” (justice documentation service).
It is in the “Justitiele Documentatiedienst” that judge decisions in penal cases (sentence) and prosecutor decisions (sepot? Or conditional sepot?) are registered. The Justitiele
Documentatiedienst then gives a so called conduct declaration.
In the case of Mr. Paul van der Sloot, there is a case registered in the Justitiele Documentatiedienst. As it is known, in June 2005, Mr. van der Sloot was detained but there is still no decision from the prosecutor nor from the judge. This made it such that a good conduct document could not be given.
On this basis, Mr. Paul van der Sloot decided to start a case against the Public Prosecutor. Bon Dia’s investigation shows that Mr. van der Sloot made a petition to the court for this case and it was determined that this case will take place on January 11 at 2 in the afternoon.
CASE WILL NOT CONTINUE
However, yesterday the Public Prosecutor notified Mr. van der Sloot for him to drop by their office and come get his good conduct document. This was based on the last case that Mr. van der Sloot brought for damages and prejudice.
A couple of weeks back, van der Sloot started a case where he asked for damages and prejudice for his arrest and the days that he was imprisoned. During the treatment of the case Mr. van der Sloot’s attorney, Mr. Swaen, showed the judge a letter from the prosecutor that dealt with the case of van der Sloot where the prosecutor said that Mr. Paul van der Sloot could not obtain any case documents because he was no longer a suspect.
On the basis of this letter, the attorney told the judge that the prosecutor let it be known that the case against van der Sloot was over. The judge said in his decision that he is in agreement with the attorney.
Given that the prosecutor herself said that Mr. van der Sloot is no longer a suspect, which according to the judge can be looked at as the prosecutor saying that the case is over, since the prosecutor will no longer pursue the case. This signifies that Paul van der Sloot will soon start working as a lawyer in Aruba and the case he brought forth against the Public Prosecutor will not go forward since he obtained his good conduct document, which is the document he was missing to be registered as a lawyer.

High Command in Holland wants to conduct DNA tests on all suicide victims
DIARIO Aruba
1/6/2006
ORANJESTAD (AAN): A report which is circulating in Holland caught DIARIO’s attention, related to a declaration from the High Command of the police in Utrecht. Among other things, it is mentioned that with suicide cases, it is desired for all these cases, that DNA tests be conducted on the bodies.
Two unsolved cases were illustrated, in the first instance the victim committed suicide but it resulted later after the test, that this was not the case.
It is desired to introduce a law so that in this type of case, DNA tests can take place. What the High Command brought forward is based on a case of more or less 20 years which is considered a cold case after the test resulted in something else.
Recently in Aruba, also in past years, experts from Holland along with investigators and authorities in Paradera opened a cemetery in which the Dutch man Maas, who was owner of a pet shop here in Aruba in the Andina Ice building, was buried.
At this time, the doctor could not determine what caused Maas’s death. It has been suspected for some time that the man was poisoned. But the prosecutor ordered a DNA test be conducted on the corpse.
Now there is a result which indicated that a crime took place, this opened the way to hear suspects. One of the suspects in this case is the wife of the deceased who is a Canadian woman and who at the moment lives in Canada.
It is not known if the Public Prosecutor in this case, the Attorney General, proposed to the government of Aruba or the Kingdom to solicit the extradition of the woman whose initials are M.J.H. of 47 years of age. It is also not known if the Kingdom in these cases has a treaty. Meanwhile, this could last many months, or perhaps light will never be shed on this case.

For the first time in the history of Aruba: Aruba out with tremendous touristic promotion in the US
AHATA achieves a unique strategic alliance in the Caribbean with Dutch group
DIARIO Aruba
01/06/2006
ORANJESTAD (AAN): In an interview with DIARIO, AHATA CEO, Mr. Jorge Pesquera indicated that this week, during the meetings that are taking place in Aruba with foreign partners who deal with the marketing aspect of our island as a touristic destination, this time a special alliance was made with the Netherlands Board of Tourism and Conventions (NBTC).
In Pesquera’s opinion, it is fortunate for AHATA was approached by NBTC, given that when NBTC found out that AHATA was in a dialogue with the purpose of establishing a new marketing entity in what relates to groups and conventions for our islands, then they got in contact with AHATA.
“Frankly, we are intrigue by the possibility that an entity which is quasi-governmental for Holland, showed interest to do new and entrepreneurial things.
We interviewed them extensively in New York. They impressed me with their creativity, their knowledge of the market, their achievements with the things they are doing in Holland and other places. We decided to enter into a contract, which is really an alliance, because we are going to help them and they are going to help us”.
The CEO of AHATA indicated that they are very satisfied given that for the first time in the history of Aruba, there is national coverage from coast to coast, from New York to Canada, Los Angeles and San Francisco in the market of groups and conventions.
Pesquera let it be known that there are eight salesmen on the street and three administrators that are supporting this effort, which is one, he said, that is extraordinary to attract a market that was not given much importance in Aruba in the past.
NBTC’s interest, he stated, has to do with the way of working, which is very entrepreneurial. They receive part of their funds, assigned by the central government of The Hague (Holland), but there is the possibility to increase these funds by an additional 60% via the alliance and sales that they make with entities such as AHATA.
He added that NBTC represents all the museums of Holland, various convention centers, among others. He continued to say that it is this entrepreneurial/commercial spirit, the creativity that they have demonstrated during the interview that gave AHATA the interest in contacting NBTC as an entity instead of adding salespeople directly.
Currently, there are three salespeople directly contracted by AHATA, Donna Delgado in Washington, Mayline Menendez in Miami and Charly Ibarra in New York.
Pesquera added that AHATA is increasing this sales force with four or five people from NBTC, which is categorized as an extraordinary coverage for our island. “This is a unique alliance in the Caribbean”, he said.

He also said that he finds it very strange that after so much time that this video has come out, that it is now that the Public Prosecutor finds the time to call his client to comment.
Kock also explained that it is a fact that the Public Prosecutor cannot force the three suspects to come back to be interrogated.
If they are interested in doing this, they have to have very key and urgent reasons to try to convince a judge, to permit them to interrogate the suspects once again.

In Holland
Former suspect fails ‘lie detector test’
DIARIO Aruba
01/05/2006
ORANJESTAD(AAN): Recently in Holland, in the well-known program of Peter R. de Vries, there were 4 men who voluntarily participated in a test, using the so called ‘lie detector test’, which can detect if a person is lying.
All these men were suspects in the case of the rape and murder of 19 year old Milica van Doorn in June 1992. The men were set free at the time, after DNA tests were made.
These persons offered to participate in this test, to show once more that they are innocent. However, one of them failed the test, which could indicate that he could know more about the rape and murder of the youth in 1992.
According to E. Meijer of the University of Maastricht, who performed the test on the 4 men, the fact that one of the men failed the test does not mean that he is 100% certain that he has something to do with the murder.
It is only an indication that if there was still an investigation ongoing, police would have advised to interrogate this person again. Perhaps it would be a good idea to let the suspects in the case of the disappearance of Natalee Holloway take this test.

This has still not happened, however the Public Prosecutor’s Office sent a request to the lawyer of Satish Kalpoe, David Kock, for him to come with his client so they can see the recording of the conversation of Deepak that Jamie Skeeter made.
The intention is for them to see the original video, as well as the version that passed on the Dr. Phil program, which was supposedly manipulated.
DIARIO interviewed attorney Kock, who explained that he has still to sit down with his client to evaluate if they will accept the invitation.
According to Kock, he’s not sure if they will decide to go and comment on the tape, because it does not have to do with his client.
However, after he meets with Satish Kalpoe, it will be then that the decision will be certain.
According to American press

ORANJESTAD (AAN): Recently, the American press published that Joran van der Sloot left Aruba on December 30, to go back and continue his studies in Holland, without being interrogated once again as was speculated.
DIARIO found this date a little strange, however, according to information, the flights to Holland in January are very full, so perhaps Joran was not able to find another date than the 30 of December. DIARIO called Joran’s attorney, Antonio Carlo, to find out if it was true that Joran already went back to Holland, however, we were not able to get in touch with the lawyer.
DIARIO called the van der Sloot family home, where Joran’s brother said that he already went back to Holland. DIARIO asked on what day he went back to Holland, but the brother did not want to say.
