The Claim
17 October 2008: Lexence Law Firm [Ferry van Schoonhoven & Dirk-Jan Gondrie] has filed in The Court of The Hague a Legal Petition requesting to seize any assets pertaining to Colombia’s National Oil Company “Ecopetrol” under Dutch Jurisdiction and requesting the seizure of The Residence of The Colombian Ambassador to The Netherlands along with a “Concept Claim” *
- The Concept Claim is a very detailed description of the damages to Llanos Oil.
- The Concept Claim becomes a “Claim” as soon as Llanos Oil is able to seize any pertaining to Colombia’s National Oil Company “Ecopetrol” under Dutch Jurisdiction and/or the seizure of The Residence of The Colombian Ambassador to The Netherlands.
17 October 2008: Court Order: The Court of The Hague granted Llanos Oil to seize any pertaining to Colombia’s National Oil Company “Ecopetrol” under Dutch Jurisdiction, but denies the seizure of The Residence of The Colombian Ambassador to The Netherlands.*
* The seizure of The Residence of The Colombian Ambassador to The Netherlands is currently in Appeal.
The Case
The night of the arrest only technical information about our oil concession “Guatapuri”, including our secret “Oil Treasure Map” (locations of all the oil structures identified by us) were confiscated and not one single piece of accounting.
The Guatapuri Oil Concession held between Ecopetrol (Oil State Company of Colombia) and Llanos Oil was swiftly transferred to Drummond Coal Company.

| The Testimony of ex-DAS deputy director Rafael Garcia |
Rafael Garcia, former Deputy Director [IT-Department] of the DAS [Colombia’s FBI] testified in court that Llanos Oil/van Bilderbeeks was made the target of a sinister plot ordered by The Office of The Colombian Presidency and passed onto Jorge Noguera, former Director of the DAS [The poodle of The Colombian Presidency arrested for his involvement with the paramilitaries of the A.U.C. ["DAS-GATE"] and carried out by Intelligence Services to destroy Llanos Oil/van Bilderbeeks in order to pass on Llanos Oil Mineral Rights along with all of Llanos Oil Technical Information to Drummond Coal Company, and to maintain “uninterrupted” paramilitary, narcotics & laundering and covert (Intelligence Services) operations in the area.
Testimony of Rafael Garcia ex-Deputy Director of The Colombian Intelligence Service “DAS” declares that his intelligence unit could not find one single shred of evidence of any criminal wrongdoing involving Llanos Oil, its administrative company S.P.C., van Bilderbeeks or employees of the Llanos Oil. Garcia was ordered to pass on all of Llanos Oil technical information to Drummond.

| Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) |
The statement by Garcia becomes even more evident when Kurt Coront DEA agent stationed to Austria issues a memorandum to Mag. Stadler Chief Narcotics Investigations on 17 October, 2003 stating the following:
[1] Llanos Oil & van Bilderbeek appear negative in the indices of the DEA!
while,
[2] The National Oil Company of Colombia Ecopetrol appears positive in the indices of the DEA for money laundering, narcotics and supplying chemicals drug dealers!
| The Colombia Government |
The Colombia Government provided the American Government with essential ingredients to accuse Llanos Oil of being solely a sham company with one essential purpose “money laundering on behalf of the A.U.C” . Colombia used the following steps to create this accusation against Llanos Oil and to lay the foundation for the American Government to destroy Llanos Oil knowing full well that Llanos Oil nor van Bilderbeeks were involved in any of these alleged charges.
- Step 1: Right after the hostile take-over of our oil contract Guatapuri a letter from Ecopetrol to Colombia’s Secret Service “D.A.S.” confirmed that Llanos Oil Limited had engaged into two oil exploration contracts, Las Nieves and Guatapuri and Llanos Oil Incorporated had engaged into one oil exploration contract Canaparo Sur. All oil explorations projects were halted due to “lack of funds” (meanwhile, ironically the Colombians are accusing Llanos Oil of laundering millions, if not billions, and yet Llanos Oil lacks all the funds in the world to perform oil explorations?! ). *
*for the reader, Las Nieves and Guatapuri are identical contracts with identical geographical coordinates. After Ecopetrol’s initial hostile take-over attempt of our oil exploration contract “Las Nieves” failed and Ecopetrol was ordered by former President Pastrana to return our oil contract, in an attempt to save face to the outside world, Ecopetrol renamed the “Las Nieves” oil contract as “Guatapuri”
- Step 2: After receiving Ecopetrol’s letter, the D.A.S. issued a letter to Colombia’s prosecutor stating “Llanos Oil did not have any oil contracts and did not ever perform any oil works”! *
The above statement by the DAS that Llanos Oil did not perform any oil works contradicts reality as you can see below:
For one, The Colombian Ministry of Mines certified Llanos Oil had fulfilled their Geological work program as dictated by Ecopetrol for the previous 2002!
Colombian Presidents aware and involved with Llanos Oil development: President Samper, President Pastrana and President Uribe.
President Uribe has declined any knowledge of Llanos Oil or Hendrik van Bilderbeek, but reality is that Hendrik and President Uribe had email correspondence and President Uribe ordered his Ministers [including Customs] to review a proposed energy plan submitted by Hendrik exactly during the same period [October, 2002] the DEA alleges that Llanos Oil/van Bilderbeeks are part of a criminal organization, money launders and Llanos Oil is a paper company, a sham.
| The US Government |
The pieces of the puzzle that US Government services played a major role behind the destruction of Llanos Oil (with over one hundred investors) & van Bilderbeeks became clear, when the lead agent John Hegarty of the DEA called our US investors and “ordered them not to invest or loan any funds to Llanos Oil or the van Bilderbeeks”, followed by a US Rogatory Letter to Colombia (2005), followed by remarks made by US Amb. Wood that “Llanos Oil sole purpose was to launder money” (2006).
Contrary to US Amb. Wood assessment, Llanos Oil had spend millions of US Dollars contracting or dealing with companies such as Halliburton, Western Atlas, Parker Drilling, Schlumberger, Beiken Industries, Harken Energy, etc. The infrastructure (roads, platforms, towers, mudpits, drilling holes, piping & casing, etc.) were completed for two identified oil structures, namely Fidelina and Guacharaca. Moreover, US Amb. Wood’s predecessor US Amb. Patterson & US Consular Officer “Oil & Gas” Mario Cediel (this fellow had knowledge of Llanos Oil since 1994!) took active part in the re-negotiations of our Oil Contract with Ecopetrol back in 2000. President Pastrana of Colombia, Uribe’s predecessor did not hesitate to order the return of our Oil Contract, which had been illegally terminated by Ecopetrol in their first attempt to transfer our Oil Rights to Drummond.
| Why would anybody in their right mind owning one of the most lucrative oil concessions in the world -so lucrative that a US Billion Dollars company like Drummond did anything in their powers to obtain this oil concession- want to give it up! And why would anybody in their mind that is supposedly into narcotics, money laundering and belonging to most sought after criminal organization appeal to the US and Colombian Presidents for assistance knowing full well this would spark “the mother of all investigations”. And why would a “guilty” man subject himself to a polygraph and interviews with the DEA? Exactly, you know the answer! |
