Van den Heuvel’s lawyer intends to file injuction against Telegraaf

March 09, 2013 10:32 AM

PHILIPSBURG -- Attorney Cor Merx, legal representative for Bada Bing manager Jaap van den Heuvel, said on Friday his client had not done anything wrong and he intends to file an injunction against De Telegraaf daily, which ran the story detailing video proof of bribery of independent Member of Parliament of St. Maarten Patrick Illidge.

 
While De Telegraaf ran with the story early Thursday morning, other media including The Daily Herald detailed the actual video of Van den Heuvel on Friday, apparently "paying off" Illidge for the provision of certain licences/permits.
 
When contacted on Friday Chief Prosecutor Hans Mos declined to comment on the matter. Solicitor General Taco Stein said the tape is currently being studied. He said civil servants and politicians are not supposed to accept monies to perform their duties. This carries a four-year-maximum prison sentence.
 
In a related matter, National Detectives visited the offices of this newspaper on Friday to subpoena the video of Van den Heuvel and Illidge and received full cooperation in so doing.
 
In the meantime, Illidge has issued no comment other than that he will continue working on behalf of the people of St. Maarten.
