House search at MP Melvin Cijntje

WILLEMSTAD -  The Department of Justice has carried out a search at the home of Melvin "Mac" Cijntje, Member of Parliament for the ruling party Pueblo Soberano.

The politician is not a suspect, but possibly one of his family members. There were a total of six places on the island where raids were carried out in this case. This involves drug-related crimes and also money laundering.

In total five suspects were arrested. They were led before the magistrate who ordered their detention pending more investigation.
