Ex-ABN Amro CEO Killed Family Before Hanging Himself

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Sadly, as suspected - and in line with his CFO in 2009 - the reported death of Jan Peter Schmittmann was indeed suicide. The ex-CEO of ABN Amro hanged himself, but only after murdering his wife, Nally, and 22 year-ol daughter Babette. As Bloomberg reports, a farewell letter was found in the house, but authorities declined further comment on its contents. Schmittmann’s family was cited as saying in the statement that “we knew Jan Peter struggled with severe depression," and added that their "first concern now is supporting the remaining daughter in coping with this indescribable grief." Aweful...

As Bloomberg reports,

De Telegraaf reported today that Schmittmann hanged himself, citing two people it didn’t identify.

Bloomberg explains Schmittmann's history:

Schmittmann joined ABN Amro Holding NV, once among Europe’s biggest banks, in 1983 as an assistant relationship manager and was named head of the lender’s Dutch unit in 2003. As a member of the bank’s executive board, he was responsible for restructuring it along the lines agreed by Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc, Fortis and Banco Santander SA in their three-way takeover of the lender in 2007.

 

A year after the biggest financial-services takeover in history, the credit crunch drove Fortis to the verge of collapse, forcing the Netherlands to take over its Dutch banking and insurance units, including assets of the former ABN Amro in 2008. The Dutch asked Gerrit Zalm to lead the company now called ABN Amro Group NV.

 

On the eve of the nationalization, Schmittmann was dismissed by the Dutch Finance Ministry, he told lawmakers in a 2011 hearing. He received an 8 million-euro ($11 million) severance payment, less than what he was entitled to under his contract and more than the Dutch government sought to pay.

Dutch Police Statement (via Google Translate):

On Saturday April 5 officers found three lifeless bodies in the house. It turned out to be the father, mother and the youngest daughter of family Schmittmann. The entire Saturday performed the Forensic Investigation research in and around the home. The first indications of the police pointed to a possible family drama. The eldest daughter of the family was not at home and is caught by her family.

 

Further investigation

 

To exclude other possible scenarios were, in addition to the search for clues in the home, research bodies carried out to establish the cause of death. Information was also gathered from family and friends of the family to get what had happened as possible a clear picture. Dutch Forensic Institute confirmed the suspicions that the police had. The mother and daughter are killed by the father, the father then committed suicide. The house is a suicide note found.

 

Are related to privacy and respect for the family, no further statements made about the time of death, the manner of death and the contents of the suicide note.

 

Explanation family Schmittmann

 

The family has stated: "We are deeply shocked and beaten by this unimaginable news. We knew that Jan Peter struggled with severe depression that would eventually lead to these events is still incomprehensible to us, our first concern... now supporting the other daughter of the family in the processing of this indescribable grief. We hope to be able to do. "in peace and seclusion"

Aweful...

Well, no wonder he was depressed, he utterly destroys the Dutch branch of his bank and all he gets for his efforts is a lousy $11 million dollars.  I mean, who the f**k can live on that?

People who suicide because of depression do not take others with them. Depression directs no violence to others unless they are the cause of it...or exacerbate it

I'm sorry but honestly I don't have one moral feeling about this guy!!! I hope this piece of shit Rots in hell for taking his wife and daughter, in his own self conflicted bedlam that obviously he couldn't deal with. What a fucking looser.. Anybody that goes to his memorial is a fucking loser.. What a coward, this piece of shit should have had a bullet between his eyes years ago. But there lies the problem, everything is OK in a "Bankers" house until it isn't. I wish I could have had the chance to intervene before he took his family... I would have been more then happy to spray this piece of shit in the face with some 12 gauge buckshot if I knew he was planning on taking his innocent famliy.

I'm sorry but  he is just like every other pseudo banker that needs a little lead in the head before he continues hurting those that were mistakenly caught in in their ponzi...

Don't you hate it when you go to suicide a guy, and his wife and daughter are unexpectedly home?  and you suddenly have triple the work?  and there are suddenly hundreds of possible loose ends, and you only have minutes to clean 'em up?  and then you have to phone the boss and give him coded details he told you he didn't want to know?  and he tells you how, after he calls the local police to smooth things over, you're going to be sorry for fucking up so badly he had to involve himself in 'this business'?

Yeah, I hate that too.

why would someone kill his own family members is beyond me

if you are in deep debt it does nto mean your fam has to inherit your debts - they can simply walk away from it by refusing to inherit

why dont you let them try to build up their own life from scratch ?

 

It looks very suspecious

This is exactly how a professional Jackal Team operates, "familiy tragedy" and a compulsory "suicide note"

Does bloomberg really believe we are that brain dead. Yea right kill the whole family as I'm so desperate as the CEO of a bank making $$$ and life is not worth living for me and my family so I decide to kill everyone. Just nuts, nuts. This is pathetic. I never believe a word from the conventional press, they just lie through their teeth and are scum through and through. This was a pro hit job and the inside story will be uncovered, albeit never covered from the presstitues.

But who is doing it?  The military arm of "Occupy?"  Or is it perhaps the banker oligarchy themselves?  Really, inquiring minds want to know.  It sort of gives me a warm feeling to thin that someone is finally doing SOMETHING.  Of course, the wife and daughter being murdered leads one to believe that the Occupy folks are not involved.

My Tally 23: 15 Bankers (6 JPMorgan) & 8 Financial/Other http://forum.prisonplanet.com/index.php?topic=255098.msg1468166#msg1468166

Benjamin Fulford: The murder of former ABN Ambro Bank CEO Jan Peter Shmittmann, his wife and his daughter was part of an ongoing Rothschild plan to eliminate any people who would testify against them, according to CIA sources.

The list contains 250 names, including 50 bankers, the sources said. The Rothschilds also believe the Rockefeller family is about to be rounded up and jailed.

How easy can you get a gun permit in the Netherlands? was it a legal gun? what kind of gun?

Authorities did not say anything about how he killed his wife and daughter.
Might be gun, might be by other means. Gun control in The Netherlands is very strict, especially after a dramatic shooting some time ago. He probably did not have a permit, and I consider it unlikely that he obtained a gun illegally. We have to await further news (if any).
