Reference information:
Priscilla Jourdan is dus géén gangsterliefje. Haar man werd onterecht beschuldigd de boekhouder te zijn van Willem Holleeder.

another hint:
'Keurige' notaris
Het dossier van de zaak tegen Willem Holleeder puilt uit van de voorbeelden. Neem de keurige notaris die geen alarm slaat als hij in korte tijd een paar dubieuze transacties moet afhandelen. Een zo goed als lege bv die vastgoedhandelaar Willem Endstra net voor 10.000 euro had verkocht aan een gangsterliefje van Holleeder, koopt hij weer terug voor meer dan een miljoen euro. En dat een paar keer achter elkaar. Zou de man echt niet weten dat zo’n zaakje stinkt?
