Local | By Correspondent January 24, 2019

WILLEMSTAD - 5 to 7 years in prison for two men who wanted to smuggle 340 kilos of cocaine into the island in September last year. The cocaine became famous, after a large part was stolen from the police cells in Rio Canario.

 

The two men said they had smuggled them because they were threatened by Colombians. But because they did not want to mention names, the judge did not accept that declaration. You could have warned the police, according to the judge.
