Former lawyer Piet Doedens passed away on 15 July at the age of 79. His colleague Jan-Hein Kuijpers, who worked at the Doedens office for more than seven years, confirms this on Saturday after reporting by The Telegraph. The former lawyer was privately cremated on Friday.
Doedens was known for, among other things, the Putten murder casein which the brothers-in-law Viets and Du Bois were wrongly convicted for the death of the flight attendant Christel Ambrosius in 1994. The former lawyer also showed that Rob van Zaane was innocent of the murder of the saleswoman Sandra van Raalte in 1984, the so-called fitting room murder.
Doedens regularly assisted known drug criminals. Charles Zwolsman, Henk Rommy and drug criminal Johan V., alias The Hacker were some of them.
Together with fellow lawyer Jan Boone, Doedens also exposed the IRT affair. That case in the 1990s revolved around the deployment of civilian infiltrators in drug gangs. The police and the judiciary left drug transports untouched, in order to be able to track down gang leaders. The Van Traa parliamentary committee of inquiry made mincemeat of these investigative methods and they have been taboo ever since.
After a severe brain haemorrhage in 2007, Doedens was forced to stop his law practice. He subsequently withdrew from public life entirely. He did collaborate on a book about his life and work. The truth doesn’t exist, so find something that resembles itappeared in 2013.
