Local | By Correspondent May 21, 2019

WILLEMSTAD - A woman who works at the cleaning company at Hato has to go to jail for a year. She had smuggled in and hid two kilos of cocaine.

Someone else was supposed to pick up the drugs later.

According to the cleaning lady this would never have happened if she had received a normal salary, but according to her, cleaning work at Hato pays poorly. Because of her family situation, she receives one year less punishment than normal.
