Willemstad, Curacao. On May 10th 2022, a Curacao Business: Livoni Agencies, was searched by the Curacao Ministry of Economy, (Ministerio di Desaroyo Ekonómiko (MEO)), Curacao Foundation Tax Accountants Bureau (Stichting Belasting Accountants Bureau (BAB)) and Curacao Ministry of Health, Environment and Nature (Ministerie van Gezondheid, Milieu en Natuur (GMN)), where they found various products that were outdated. Among other things, Livoni Agencies is a Curacao wholesaler with a wide range of products for supermarkets, catering, pharmacies and drugstores. Some of the products in the company's freezer were expired and were taken away by the authorities to be destroyed.
MEO CHIEF INSPECTOR
According to chief inspector of Curacao Ministry of Economy (MEO): Mr. Ronny Cornelis; “This was a joint venture together with BAB, SOAW and GMN. We came here and at a certain point they gave us the information that there were products that were expired inside a freezer. We came here to verify this and at a certain time they will all be seized (beslag) to be destroyed (vernietig), because as you know, the government's management is that expired food products must be destroyed.”
About 3 years ago, the government organization went to the same location for the same reason. Cornelis declared; “I must tell you that the company handled the freezers but there are other companies that have the products stored inside the freezers. The previous case was a different company, at this time this is a completely different company that also makes use of the freezer. This is also a central warehouse where everyone rents places to store their things.”
Cornelis explained on the quantity of good ceased; “Good, there are about 20 to 25 pallets of products. Which varies between chicken satay (kip saté), ice cream, pizza, croquette (kroket), croissant, baguette (stokbrood). In any case, it is a variety of products that are normally delivered at Hotels and hospitality industry (horeca) or food stores (tienda) or restaurants.”
What will be done with the products?
Cornelis continued; “We made an agreement with Selikor, where it said that they are digging a hole to destroy them. So later, when we have all the products outside, we will go there under the guidance of the authority to the location in Selikor to destroy them. Because we have to make sure that they (obsolete product) don't get into the community for people to consume.”

BAB INSPECTOR
According to the Curacao Foundation Tax Accountants Bureau (BAB) inspector: Mr. Angelo Pichardo; “These products have been obsolete for a long time. They had these products out from their administration (voeraf). In all the above multi-disciplinary investigations, we (BAB) also participated, to see if the products sold here are actually registered and if they pay their taxes on them. That is also something to investigate.”
