ORANJESTAD(AAN): Monday, DIARIO interviewed attorney Jose Figaroa, who currently represents Deepak Kalpoe, about his client’s freedom, which he regained Friday, after which he was let go from KIA on Saturday.

According to Figaroa, after he got the good news that his client was going to be set free, he informed him about it.

Saturday at around 4:30 he went along with attorney Zeppenveld to get Satish at San Nicolas, after which they went to his house.

After this, they went to get Deepak at Shaba and brought him home. Deepak is happy and more relaxed now that he is home.

DIARIO asked Figaroa what is the status of his client’s interrogation. He said that from what he understands, they spoke with him a couple of times.

Not every day, but they did speak with him. The attorney explained that the Public Ministry appealed the decision to let Deepak and Satish go, but he still doesn’t know what day this will take place.

Figaroa explained that he maintains that they don’t have anything new to be able to lay blame on what his client is accused of. DIARIO asked if he is also monitoring the situations of the other suspect, namely Joran van der Sloot.

According to the attorney, Joran van der Sloot’s attorney asked for his client to also be set free immediately, after the decision came down as to the Kalpoe brothers.
