Nini does not make a good impression on judges

Local | By Correspondent January 22, 2021

WILLEMSTAD - On the third day of Maximus's trial, Burney "Nini" Fonseca had to testify. The man who would have accepted money from former minister of finance George Jamaloodin to carry out the assassination of the popular politican and former Member of Parliament Helmin Wiels now had to answer questions from the Public Prosecution Service.
