Celebs posb. harassed by John de Mol blackmailer: police

A spokesperson for the investigation team said on Thursday that "one or two" celebrities have reported to the police who think that they have been harassed by the same person that has been extorting and threatening John and Linda de Mol. The older man who bought a cake for John de Mol and stuck a threatening letter on the box, has not been identified yet. Several possible names for the suspect has been mentioned. The police has not ruled out that the about 70 year old man ordered the cake without knowing what it would be used for, but the fact that he has not turned himself in, makes him look suspicious. A composite sketch was made of the cake buyer. So far the police have received more than 300 tips in this case.
