WILLEMSTAD - People who have received a fine for violating the Corona measures will be approached by telephone by the Public Prosecution Service to arrange payment. The Public Prosecution Service (OM) reports this.
Such a so-called transaction means that a lower amount is charged than the actual fine. "If the transaction is not paid, the person concerned will be summoned and the case will go to court," said the OM.
According to the Public Prosecution Service, the amount that must be paid after the court hearing is in many cases higher than the initial transaction amount.
"Deliberate violation of the Corona measures is a crime. A conviction for this, therefore, results in a criminal record. Payment of the transaction can prevent this," said the Public Prosecution Service.
In connection with the Covid-19 measures, the Public Prosecution Service also announced that it will not be available to the public from Wednesday 24 March 2021. This applies to all buildings of the Public Prosecution Service, including De Tempel on Hendrikplein z / n as the Public Prosecutor's Office on Wilhelminaplein and the location of Paga bo But on Abraham Cumaceiro Boulevard near Waaigat.
The locations are also limited accessible by telephone. The Public Prosecution says it monitors the situation daily to take measures in the interest of the well-being of all employees and visitors.
