Bureau Onrecht
Fraud is becoming increasingly common. You may even know someone who has had to deal with it or have been a victim yourself. From stolen motorcycles that are suddenly on Marktplaats to the nasty suspicion that a neighbor is taking things from your elderly mother's house: these kinds of situations are unfortunately becoming less and less exceptional. To do something about this, presenter Dennis van der Geest visits people who have to deal with this in Bureau Onrecht and listens to their stories together with a team of experts. He then investigates, tracks down those responsible and looks for a solution to the situation.
Episodes
Ron wanted to have his house renovated by a contractor. The two men got along well, yet things went completely wrong. Not only did the contractor turn out to have delivered shoddy work, but he also failed to finish anything and absconded with the money advanced. Ron is now living on a construction site and is desperate. The story of Het Heelal in Enschede is harrowing. The volunteer-run playground spends every euro on the children. Consequently, there is great indignation when it turns out that a former employee pocketed the money intended for the purchase of the much-needed storage container. Finally, Dennis visits Patricia. After 18 years, she was ready for a new floor. She met a laminate installer who was supposed to get the job done in no time. She paid him, but on the day of the appointment, he did not show up.

Case two concerns "Fake Lawyer Khalid," who pulls all sorts of tricks regarding an inheritance to extract more money. What should have been a nice inheritance turned into a disaster in which all the money disappeared. These are the stories of Rachida and Benjamin, whose friend was imprisoned and never released due to false reports and untruths spread by this fake lawyer.
In an in-depth investigation, we focus on a fraudulent floorer, an individual who pockets the money of unsuspecting customers without any remorse and then disappears without a trace. Additionally, we reveal the story of an apparently respectable real estate entrepreneur who is in reality a persistent defaulter, driving a seriously ill woman to the brink of despair. These practices demonstrate the harrowing consequences of financial abuse and the lack of integrity within certain sectors, where vulnerable victims are often left empty-handed.
Michael, who once solemnly promised to put an end to the chaos within the roofing industry, turns out to be responsible for a further deterioration of the reputation of this already controversial sector. Under his influence, the industry's image has become even more shadowy, causing the trust of customers and clients to erode further. Moreover, an old acquaintance, Rinaldo, is confronted in this investigation—someone who continues his fraudulent practices unabated despite previous exposures. The picture that emerges is that of a sector in which unscrupulous players seem to have free rein, and where promises to put things in order turn out to be nothing more than empty words.
A window frame manufacturer turns out to be disadvantaging his customers on a large scale. While they are left financially exhausted and with unresolved problems, he himself enjoys a luxurious lifestyle. Furthermore, when a car garage repeatedly fails to respond to serious customer complaints, we go to the scene to hold them accountable and demand an explanation.
We follow the trail of a man who systematically deceives those around him without any conscience. His victims are now filled with anger and frustration. Additionally, the practices of a shady dropshipper are coming to an end; he portrays himself on the internet as a successful entrepreneur, but in reality operates within a web of deception and fraud. And now, a case from 2015: enough is enough for Ingo. He decides to pick up his chip cart because Sander is once again failing to honor his agreements. Together with Dennis, he arrived at the scene and, after some effort, they attached the chip cart to the back of Ingo’s vehicle. For Ingo, enough is enough. And since then, he has sold the chip cart to someone who does honor the agreements.
