Puppet Show: How Police and Prosecutors Blunder, Manipulate and Misuse Their Power Peter Smolders

Respected businessman Gerry de Klerk mingled with cabinet ministers, Prime Ministers, presidents and members of the Dutch Royal Family, until Dutch police branded him a master swindler. He could have proved his innocence quickly, but police and prosecutors were not interested in the truth. After a brutal arrest, ten days in California?s Alameda County Jail, seven months behind bars in Amsterdam, and eight years under investigation, de Klerk has finally won.

He has been completely exonerated, and now he fights back not only with a record damage claim, but also with something that police, the Justice Department and some top business people may find even worse ? this book, which exposes it all.
