WILLEMSTAD - Convicted former Prime Minister of Curaçao Gerrit Schotte may not be released in the short term. There are not enough ankle monitor bracelets available for house arrest.
According to sources, there are several prisoners who will likely be released to continue serving their sentences at home. This means that there are not enough ankle monitoring bracelets for the former prime minister.
Schotte has now been there for a year and a half and can leave prison with an ankle bracelet. In December, Schotte then has served two-thirds of his sentence and will be really released.
