Willemstad, Curacao. Allegedly the former Curacao Prime Minister: Gerrit Schotte (MFK political party) needs money. It seems that the former prime minister has to pay the Curacao Public Prosecution Office (OM) 1.8 million guilders within ten days. The funds will be added to the countries crime fund. The former prime minister has to pay based on the Babel confiscation case.
JAIL SENTENCE
The former prime minister was jailed (December 5, 2018) (in Centre for Correction and Detention prison (SDKK)) for, among other things, official bribery, co-authorship of forgery and co-authorship of money laundering. On appeal (July 2018), the sentence was upheld.
In the criminal case, Schotte was irrevocably sentenced to three years in prison for, among other things, official bribery, co-authorship of forgery, and co-authorship of money laundering. As an additional penalty, he was disqualified from the right to stand for election for a period of five years (2021-2026). In the criminal case, it was established that, among other things, he accepted a large sum of money, which was allegedly intended to induce him to do something in return, from an alleged Italian casino boss (Atlantis World Group (AWG) en BetPlus (BPlus)) and friend named: Francesco Corallo. We must note that in the past (2014) Francesco Corallo told a local newspaper that 'he had never personally given money to Gerrit Schotte'; "Not even for his political campaign."
THE MONEY
In this case, the Common Court ruled that Schotte obtained an advantage by accepting these gifts and for a similar act, the court confiscated (1,844,190.36 Antillean guilders).
Allegedly, in May 2019, Schotte's mother started a crowdfunding, soliciting public support, in the amount of 3.6 million guilders, which was understood to be part of the confiscation money plus attorney's fees.
Schotte just got out of prison more than a year ago (as of November 27, 2020). He apparently is appealing to his supporters, because if he doesn't pay, he would have to go to jail for another three years and according to him, apparently, a payment arrangement can be made, but it cannot be applied.
