St. Maarten Private Eye

it is true, when Merx was given his marching orders, or should we say his medical leave of absence, it was already heard around the legal circles that he had applied for a job with Gibson. Many believe that Gibson and Ferrier are the ones that brought him back with a beautiful promise of becoming SXM first Prosecutor General. Gibson felt pretty confident of himself that he would be in charge with his Minister position for quite some time more.

But good man gone bad???? how are we so sure that he was a good man to start with? Are you very sure that our secret service did their job well? How is it possible then that Curacao and Aruba and now SXM has had their share of questionable prosecutors? Could it be that Holland is sending us (the Antilles) their crap that they would like to get rid of?
Remember, it is very difficult getting qualified people to come to the Antilles. Why should they if they have already made a name for themselves in Holland? The Antilles is small time for them.

And the woman.... My belief is that Merx did much more on his own in his office, side tracking his superiours that has nothing to do with a woman. However, it could be a very delicate situation for the prosecutors to bring up, as it might show that his bosses were not paying attention.

The jealousy part of him using his powers to obtain confidential phone records of his then girlfriend, of which he used his secretary to fill out the form stating that that number of his girlfirend was in connection with a criminal drug case is only a small part of the investigation. He has already admitted to that part, stating that he did it out of jealousy. However, that is fraudelent and if he did this, what else could he have done? How many other people/criminals might be in jail because Merx did some stupid thing fraudelently to keep them in jail while they might be innocent?

And also?? How many other people was he supposed to investigate that he deliberatly failed to do because he was friends with them? Or he was being payed off? I am guessing that the prosecutors have more up their sleeve and we haven't heard most of it as yet. The girlfriend thing he already admitted to, that could be small time if the prosecutors get facts on the other stuff.

However, some things might be delicate as it would jeopordise the Prosecutors General office and who they were trying to investigate.
Here is a hint..... a certain construction company was recently investigated, some say this was one of the companies Merx refused to investigate. when he was in office (ehum).

Also, it is true that L.C. Fleming brought criminal charges against M.Ferrier, Merx made a decision in one day that those charges were irrelevant. (???)
I must applaud the Radio Soualiga for being the first one to bring this issue to light with a certain letter that was leaked, I know some media houses would have buried this leaked letter, and we the people would never have known the truth.

This ego-centric man would have come back with his hat taken his place in our society and continue with his favoritism, and eventually holding down a top judicial job playing politics for certain influential people.
