WILLEMSTAD--The anti-corruption unit of the Kingdom Detective Cooperation Team RST conducted a search at Central Bank of Curaçao and St. Maarten (CBCS) president-director Emsley Tromp’s home and the office of a trust company in Curaçao this morning.
The Prosecutor's Office did not identify the target of the investigation or release any other details, but local news photographers had spotted authorities at the house belonging to Tromp and reliable sources confirmed it. According to Dutch daily “De Telegraaf” Tromp is suspected of fiscal fraud and money laundering. The probe is said to be part of a coordinated effort from the Netherlands regarding so-called “undermining crime” on the islands and the role of notaries, real estate agents, lawyers and bankers.
