WILLEMSTAD - Norman Serphos is the new editorial chief / editor-in-chief of the Amigoe. The Curaçao afternoon newspaper has had nobody in both positions for a while. Owner Michael Voges is currently taking care of both positions.
Serphos started May 1, but the newspaper's colophon does not mention his name. The newspaper has also not officially reported anything.
Serphos was a spokesperson for the Public Prosecution Service in Willemstad for a long time. He had to leave there after a personal affair in which he made a false declaration.
