The conversations with Joran were broadcasted in the US last night and since then can be viewed on the internet via www.foxnews.com. Anchor Van Susteren already indicated it in her interview: "When are you finally going to tell me the truth?" She even flew to Asia in the middle of this year especially and had to account for the expenses made. Prior to going, Joran managed to ‘lure' her by sending her conversations between him and his father Paul van der Sloot which he recorded on his mobile phone. In those conversations it is suggested that his father knew about the whole history of his involvement in the smuggling of people.
Throughout the program, Joran's new version would apparently contain incriminating information.
Apart from his father, also a lawyer and a ‘befriended' Aruba teacher would know about the ‘real story'. Former suspects Deepak and Satish Kalpoe would both have received a share of 1000 dollars for helping Joran with transportation the evening of Natalee's disappearance, or perhaps to keep their mouth shut.
Even more incriminating is the part in which Joran admits that his father bribed two police officers which ‘knew about the story'. Paul van der Sloot was at that time employed as a trainee judge. When the officers discovered the story about the ‘sale of Natalee', his father paid them an amount of 50.000 florins or dollars, says Joran. "He only told me this later, to make it clear that I should shut my mouth, and say nothing to the police about it."
Venezuela
Joran would've met the facilitator ‘Elgar' who was included in Joran's story to Fox News, during games of black jack and poker in the Aruban casino world. According to Joran's story the man would've been diligently in search of a blond girl, would apparently be between the age of thirty and forty, and would speak Dutch and Papiamento and possibly English. He would have transported Natalee Holloway in a drunken state by boot to Venezuela. Van der Sloot thereby suggested that Holloway could still be alive, which aroused an interest in Van Susteren. "If I receive your information, we can possibly find her there", she says during a conversation with him. "If she's still alive, then this is her last chance". "It would be best if she would still be alive", reacted Joran moments afterwards.
Public Prosecutor's Office
The Public Prosecutor's Office on Aruba has no comment regarding the content of the Fox News broadcast. "We can't view it on Aruba", says a spokesperson of the Justice Department. She refers all media to a press release which was sent out by the Public Prosecutor's Office last week when the anchor lady Van Susteren accused the Public Prosecutor's Office of having no interest in the recordings. "There was no reaction to our requests to send us the tape in Aruba", stated the press release. In a private conversation held between the Public Prosecution's Office and Van Susteren, she would have told the Public Prosecution's Office that she wasn't in the position to fulfill their requests as she has ‘business obligations' in the US. The chief of the Public Prosecution's office Hans Mos would have to come and get the tape in Miami under the condition: take it, or leave it, reports the Public Prosecution's Office. In July a producer of Fox News had informed the Public Prosecution's Office about the contents of the show. The Public Prosecution's Office concluded however that the new information was not connected enough to their own investigation.
