Rooijakkers and Verster: Legal Affairs

AVROTROS/NPO 3

Rooijakkers and Verster: Legal Affairs, an investigative journalism program about everything unjust in our justice system.

We all love to hear about famous criminals, fugitives and unsolved cases and we all have something to say about it. But what do we actually know about ‘the law’?

In each episode, a recent event is the starting point for an investigation. With simple questions, Art Rooijakkers and Lauren Verster uncover our justice system. How to launder money? How can you tell if a crown witness speaks the truth? Can you take justice into your own hands? If so, how far are you allowed to go?

Every topic will be handled on different levels. Ranging from the legislature to the executive, from victim to perpetrator.
