Housing corporation Rochdale HAS reformed her life?

Now, eight years later, the question is whether this affair and the opinion of the Parliamentary Committee Rochdale have changed.

Nieuwsuur followed the new top women of the corporation Hester van Buren.

Möllenkamp is on trial for include bribery, money laundering, forgery and perjury. In addition to the Maserati Möllenkamp went in Rochdale more wrong.

So the CEO had a free hand and did amount to fifty million not to submit to its Board. His commercial real estate projects yielded substantial losses.

Since his resignation has dealt the helm in 2009, says the new administration of Rochdale. The surveillance is better and the finance knocking again, partly due to the dismissal of more than one hundred employees.

"The age-Möllenkamp is really over," said the chairman of the board of directors Hester van Buren. "I can not myself do all sorts of crazy things, then I get tapped directly by my colleagues on the fingers."

The commercial property projects of the job, says the executive. "If we do, we do it together with investors. They develop the commercial activities and we social housing."

Social face off

But tenants find that the corporation has lost its social face. Rents have gone up in recent years upwards, renovation projects have been postponed and Rochdale has sold thousands of social housing.

"I had hoped that they would have preserved something more social stock and rent increase would be moderate," said Ronald Paping from the Housing. "You must also demonstrate social face in difficult times."

But there was not much choice, says the chairman of the supervisory board René Craemer. "We must remember that Rochdale by the strange way that is operated on, stood at the edge of the abyss. But the tenants have since suffered."
