Manipulated passport, drunk driver, bag of banknotes in Bonaire, Statia | THE DAILY HERALD

Statia’s new airport control tower (extreme right) next to the existing terminal buildingBONAIRE/ST. EUSTATIUS–The Royal Netherlands Marechaussee arrested a Colombian man at Flamingo International Airport last week for forgery.

 

  The man presented himself to passport control for departure to Curaçao. In his passport, a certificate stating his temporary admission to Bonaire was missing. Because he had stayed longer than permitted he had removed this certificate to avoid a possible fine.

  A fine of US $500 was imposed after consultation with the Prosecutor’s Office OM BES. He will also be placed in immigration detention to be deported. The Royal Netherlands Marechaussee submitted a request to the Immigration and Naturalisation unit Caribbean Netherlands (IND-unit CN) to register the man as an undesirable immigrant for the Caribbean Netherlands.

  Earlier, during surveillance around Flamingo International Airport, a woman was checked who stood out because of her driving behaviour. The check demonstrated that the woman had more than four times the permitted amount of alcohol in her blood. She was arrested and her driving licence was revoked. The OM BES has now imposed a two-month driving ban. In addition, she will still have to answer to the judge for the final verdict.

  At F.D. Roosevelt Airport in St. Eustatius, where the Marechaussee supports the Caribbean Netherlands Police Force (KPCN) in addition to border police duties at the airport and port, a woman was checked who was carrying more than US $5,000, in bank notes. Because she could not plausibly show how she obtained the money and it was suspected that it possibly originated from crime, further investigation is being conducted by the criminal investigation department.

  1. Didn’t you know that was an overdue paid bribe for Van Rij. He helped the white elite so much, they want to do something for him.
