The Treasury Department’s Bureau of Fiscal Service – which effectively acts as the government’s day-to-day bank – was gutted, and so was Piggott.

Her woes have not stopped. Pigott, who has spoken to the national press about the issue before, has been targeted by vandals and has even received death threats since speaking out.

Halsema ontving hem in de ambtswoning en vertelde dat ze onder de indruk was van zijn snelle, daadkrachtige optreden. De toerist zelf wil liever niet zijn verhaal doen aan de pers. Hij maakt zich nog grote zorgen om de slachtoffers [1].”
