Main suspect Martien R: ‘I no longer participate in this circus’ | Inland

Both Martien R. and his lawyer Jan-Hein Kuijpers accused the court of being biased. “I no longer participate in this circus,” said Martien R., who walked away with his lawyer after expressing his indignation. According to Martien R., some of the 15 other suspects will also no longer appear. He asked the court to withdraw. “You are wearing the wrong gown, you are in the wrong chair,” said Martien R. to the chairman, who was previously a public prosecutor. “And your colleagues are not doing anything either,” added Martien R. added.

Rejection

The incident followed a court decision to dismiss virtually all of the defendants’ defenses. Kuijpers asked the court to declare the Public Prosecution inadmissible in the prosecution because there would be no fair trial from the start.

According to the lawyer, the judiciary used far-reaching investigation methods without any concrete suspicion against Martien R., purely to be able to build a case against him. And the Public Prosecution Service also violated the so-called ban on passage by not intervening when there was apparently a criminal act by Martien R. and his co-defendants.

The court rejected that. Martien R. and Kuijpers were not surprised about this, they said on Friday, given the experience in recent months. It didn’t lessen their anger.

Martien R .: ,, I have had the feeling for 15 months that the officers already have the demand on paper and that the court is already planning the verdict. I would say; just slap it ”, he said angrily. He accuses the Public Prosecution Service of “lying, cheating and manipulating” and finds “that the court will take over everything indiscriminately.”
