Customs Chief placed on administrative leave

WILLEMSTAD - Customs director Jules Ilario has been placed on administrative leave by the interim Minister of Finance Lourdes Alberto.

The staff of the customs declared to have no more confidence in the director and that is why last week they took action. During the ongoing investigation, Ilario has a mandatory vacation of at least 15 days.

The staff does not agree with the policies of their director and say that he is accountable for the unsuccessful reorganization process at customs.
