Prison sentence for white collar crime


Property tycoon Paarlberg is being sent to prison for money laundering

Interesting for us, criminologists: a multi-millionaire is being sent to prison for committing white collar crime.


"Dutch Property tycoon Jan-Dirk Paarlberg has been sentenced to 4.5 years in jail for laundering money which gangland boss Willem Holleeder is said to have earned through blackmailing.
Paarlberg said he was shocked by the conviction. 'I never expected this,' he told reporters.
The money came from Willem Endstra, another property speculator who was murdered in 2004 but made several statements before his death saying he was being blackmailed."
