Lawyer for Frits van Eerd in Appeal: 'He Had One of the Most Secure Fridges You Will Ever See'
Lawyers for Jumbo boss Frits van Eerd are requesting that the appellate court in Zwolle visit his workshop in Veghel, where he stored nearly 450,000 euros in cash inside a refrigerator. Defense attorney Muriël Rosing argues the location was highly secure and close to valuable assets, while co-counsel Daan Doorenbos claims the trial dossier is incomplete and seeks additional witnesses. Van Eerd, sentenced to two years in prison for corruption and money laundering, is appealing the conviction, with the defense arguing the evidence was insufficient and improperly handled.
