Chief Prosecutor Mos goes on vacation!

ORANJESTAD(AAN)— When in the halls of government sitting against the principle of separation of powers, at no time did chief prosecutor mr. Hans Mos say he was going on vacation and that he is leaving the case in the hands of another person.

Now it turns out that he went to Holland on vacation, at the moment when the case of Joran, which he has been dealing with, is taking place in Holland. More questions arise in what regards criminal authorities. It was not long ago that Mos himself admitted to DIARIO that when at a quieter time Jorg was in Holland, it was difficult for legal authorities to function if two top functionaries are missing at work.

Now that Dutch authorities have to deal with the Natalee case along with Aruban authorities […] it turns out that Mos is on vacation in Holland, where Joran, with baseless accusations from legal authorities, was able to maintain his freedom, is speaking with Dutch authorities!

The people have the right to know what is happening in Aruba.

Now that the case of Joran has garnered global attention and international journalists show an interest to question Aruban criminal authorities, chief prosecutor Mos has gone on vacation.

DIARIO, the day before yesterday, tried to get in contact with mr. Hans Mos, who when Nico Jorg was in Holland at a quieter time, showed that it was difficult for criminal authorities to be able to function with Teresa Croes as A.O. and another out of town. DIARIO was informed that mr. Hans Mos went to Holland. He did not say to DIARIO that it was on vacation that he was supposedly going.

Yesterday, DIARIO was informed that quite some time ago, Mos decided to take his vacation and decided that he was going to spend them now in Holland, where coincidentally Joran van der Sloot was interrogated by Dutch authorities, who have to pass on this information to Aruban authorities.

Mos himself explained to Aruba how Aruban criminal authorities tried to convince the judge to re-detain Joran in Holland by appealing the judge’s verdict. For this, the information that they have to receive from Holland is of great importance. How is it that now Mos went on vacation to the same country where Joran was interrogated, is a question that comes up.

The case that is being appealed in front of a judge was lost by criminal authorities given that the judge cannot sentence Joran, because criminal authorities cannot present any proof about what happened to Natalee that day and that Natalee died.

Criminal authorities must’ve known that the accusations that they presented without concrete proof, never would have allowed the judge to condemn Joran because criminal authorities could not give any proof, like they themselves admitted. Therefore these are baseless accusations by criminal authorities that made it possible for Joran van der Sloot to regain his freedom after he was detained with what criminal authorities call ‘essential proof’.

[translator's note: article goes on a political tangent below]

How could Mos, at a time like this, go on vacation when Joran was interrogated; it becomes more questionable if one takes into account the amount of work that criminal authorities have to deal with in the coming week with the new case of the Fondo Desaroyo. It has been some time that two very important cases, in which accusations that criminal authorities are [corrupt?] play an important role, one of two criminal authorities chiefs ‘went on vacation’?

Even though prosecutor van der Schaft will represent in the case of Fondo Nobo, which was formulated with Teresa Croes at the helm, on the basis of a complaint by Rudy Croes and Nel Oduber, it is known that van der Schaft has to deal with the inheritance and strategy of Big Fish that van der Schaft inherited and that also is full of question as to what proof will be presented.

In this case there are links like Mos, who is in Holland from where the judge who sits on the Fondo Nobo case has to come, that are important and the question arises what necessity there is for Teresa Croes, even though she is A.O., to come guide the Fondo Nobo case that came to light under her direction and got investigated on the basis of false reports, amongst other things.
