Suspected murderers GARY GIORDANO and JORAN VAN DER SLOOT plan to make a KILLING financially from their notoriety!
Joran, who confessed to killing a 21-year-old Peruvian woman before recanting, is suing two South American governments for $10 million for violating his “human rights.”
And in the U.S., an insurance company is preparing for a $1.5 million claim from recently freed Gary Giordano, who bought a travel accidental death policy on missing blonde Robyn Gardner. Aruban authorities suspect he was involved in her disappearance while the two were vacationing on the island paradise.
“It blows the mind,” Art Wood, a former U.S. Secret Service agent who has closely followed the Gardner case, told The ENQUIRER.
“There’s a mass of suspicion that Giordano killed a woman he barely knew after taking out a $1.5 million insurance policy on her.
“But there’s no body and no witnesses, and since authorities can’t charge him, he has every right to file an insurance claim.”
Aruban prosecutors released Giordano, 50, on Nov. 29 – four months after he told authorities that his 35-year-old vacation companion Robyn, who lived in Frederick, Md., vanished while snorkeling.
“It’s likely he will be able to make a claim,” noted insurance expert Bob Underdown, who’s served as an expert witness in dozens of insurance-related cases.
“You can’t deny coverage on suspicions, and what is likely to happen is that Giordano will certainly find an attorney to take the case, the insurer will fight it – and they will eventually settle for a sum.”
Giordano has not been charged with any crime and has denied that he has anything to do with Robyn’s disappearance.
Meanwhile, Joran has been locked up in the grim Miguel Castro Castro prison in Peru since soon after college student Stephany Flores was found battered and strangled in his Lima hotel room 18 months ago. Her grieving family was stunned last month when Joran suddenly filed a $10 million lawsuit against the governments of Peru and Chile – where he was captured. The monster – whose trial is slated to begin Jan. 6 – claims that his rights were violated when he was extradited from Chile to Peru, and later when he was denied phone calls to his mother.
“Joran has also been indicted for attempting to extort $250,000 from a grieving family in another Aruba missing woman case,” noted investigator Wood.
“Now he has the nerve to sue for millions the authorities who captured him when he was on the run!”
