PHILIPSBURG–The Prosecutor announced that the suspects C.H.M. (53), J.M.S. (68) and R.J.L. (39) are being questioned for their involvement in the criminal case code-named “Catfish.”
The Catfish investigation started in March 2013 after former Member of Parliament Romain Laville filed an official complaint of attempted bribery to “jump ship.” A number of witnesses have been interrogated and important documents analysed.
As the investigation is in full swing, additional witnesses are asked to come forward and contact the National Detective Agency (Landsrecherche), if necessary via the number for anonymous witnesses 1-721-527-2623. Other suspects will also be questioned in the coming days.
The Catfish investigation is being carried out by the National Detective Agency under the authority of the Prosecutor’s Office.
