Raid on company former Minister of Finance

WILLEMSTAD - Justice this morning raided two companies of former Minister of Justice George Jamaloodin. Including on Speedy Security in Saliña.

That is the security company of the former minister. A house elsewhere in the city was also searched. There a woman with the initials C.C.M. was arrested, she’s probably the minister’s former life partner.

She is suspected of forgery and embezzlement of (part of) a subsidy of 450,000 guilders provided by the Ministry of Finance in 2012 to the Fundashon pa Optimalisashon di Bario Steenrijk and Divi Divi (Foundation for the Betterment of the neighbourhoods Steenrijk and Divi Divi).

The investigation has been launched into these crimes after the current Minister of Finance has brought this issue to the attention of the Public Prosecution in 2015.
