There was/is an Aruban article that stated that that quote had been taken out of context.
But as you say nothing from ALE.
And Natalee's relatives say that Paulus denied having made the comment in the meeting outside the jail house.

Father Gave Son Legal Advice In Holloway Case
POSTED: 10:45 pm CDT June 29, 2005
ORANJESTAD, Aruba -- Aruba's attorney general said the father of a Dutch teenager arrested in the disappearance of an Alabama honors student told his son and his two friends that "when there is no body you don't have a case."
District Attorney Caren Janssen said Paul van der Sloot, a judge in training in Aruba, gave his 17-year-old son, Joran van der Sloot, and two Surinamese brothers legal advice the day after Natalee Holloway disappeared.
Janssen said that the elder van der Sloot had obstructed the investigation by asking a friend of Joran what he said during a police interrogation.
