Darts champion blackmailer in court
A 26-year-old man from Rotterdam will appear in court in The Hague on Wednesday charged with blackmailing Dutch darts champion Raymond van Barneveld.
The public prosecution department says Van Barneveld and his wife were bombarded with phone calls and text messages warning him to ‘think of your children’.
The prosecution says the alleged blackmailer claimed to have a sex tape featuring the former world champion with another woman and threatened to send it to a tv company. The tape has never been found.
The alleged blackmailer denies the charges.
