Hilversum – Three years after the purchase of the ANP, Talpa Network is again saying goodbye to the national news agency. At the request of the management, a search was made for a new investor. They found it in Chris Oomen. Oomen, mainly known as top man of health insurer DSW and according to business magazine Quote good for a capital of €900 million, is proud that he can keep the ANP independent and in Dutch hands.
