ORANJESTAD (AAN): Last Thursday night, attorney Joe Tacopina revealed in New York that he received confirmation that the decision taken by the Common Court of Justice of Aruba and Antilles that they rejected the Public Ministry’s appeal for permission to re-detain Joran van der Sloot.

The Public Ministry re-opened the investigation on the disappearance of Natalee Holloway due to new details that were secretly recorded of Joran van der Sloot, where he admitted on videotape that Natalee died in his arms.

However, apparently the three judges who reviewed the appeal decided that there was nothing ‘new’ that has been brought forward in the recent revelations and in so doing, rejected the appeal.
