Top Politician questioned by police
The news item in the Today on Wednesday about a top politician being questioned by the police has many rumors flying around the island. From our own sources we have been informed that there are two top politicians recently questioned, RM and LL. One of whom was interviewed, apparently, very early in the morning, like 3-4am time.
How much of this is true we cannot say for certain, the source is a good one, but this blog post is for those who have reliable information and wish to share it here. As news comes available we will post it below.

Rumors about investigation of RM & LL are not very suprising. I feel the dutch should send an investigation team. If SXM gov't was managing their affairs in a transparent manner and demonstrated good financial managment they would get a seperate status more readily.
The dutch is wary of giving more autonomy unless there is stringent supervision to ensure that the gov't does not continue to mismanage public funds.
Furthermore, the slot verklaring is a control mechanism to monitor the politicans. ( basically the Dutch are saying we don't trust your gov't however we a willing to give you a trial period to see how you perform) Once again it seems that this gov't validates why they had to sign this agreement.
According to Taco. I guess the next question to ask him is why not?
