Well-known criminal lawyer Peter Plasman has been equally "shocked and bewildered" by the news. ,,It is of course only a suspicion, but after all the commotion you may assume that the Public Prosecutor's Office (OM) will not act overnight.

Plasman also cannot get over the fact that a lawyer seems to have once again functioned as an errand boy.
