Rumors have been buzzing for some time that Marco Borsato is allegedly guilty of transgressive behavior towards minors. That gossip mainly circulates online, in so-called “juice channels”: these are channels on social media that spread all kinds of unchecked gossip about famous Dutch people.
Borsato himself has been completely silent in recent weeks, but the Dutch star submitted a request to the Public Prosecution Service in the Netherlands on Thursday via Knoops’ Advocaten to investigate who spread those rumors. It is not yet clear whether the Public Prosecution Service will respond to that question.
But just a few days after Borsato’s move, a (first) official complaint has now been lodged against him with the police. And so the persistent rumors are no longer mere rumours.
Borsato’s lawyers confirm this declaration in a business statement. In a written statement distributed by his lawyer, Borsato says the following: “The report is clearly a response to the investigation I requested at the Public Prosecution Service. It is good that there is now a declaration, because it can then be involved in the investigation that I have requested. I see the outcome of the investigation with confidence. As is known, I deny all allegations that I have so far only heard through the press.”
