Biography
Dutch investigative journalist, autobiographer and publisher who won a lengthy legal battle with the Dutch state.
Oltmans was the son of Antonie Cornelis Oltmans (24 June 1894 - 21 April 1966), a chemical engineer and lawyer and Alexandrine van der Woude (21 June 1896, Maarssen - ?), the daughter of a rich Quinine producer, a medicine used against malaria (bad air) disease. His parents were very wealthy thanks to the Dutch East Indies colonies where malaria was endemic. Oltmans grew up in the villa "De Horst" and had a formal elite education, with luxury and music, but he lacked the warmth from his as distanced perceived parents.
