WILLEMSTAD - Former minister Carlos Monk filed a complaint this morning at the Investigation Team Landsrecherche against the Curaçao Refinery (RdK). According to Monk, the selection of the new refinery manager did not go according to the rules. Luis Giusti, who lives in America, is said to have a dubious reputation. The director of the Caribbean Petroleum Refinery is said to have enriched himself as a director of the Stanford Bank through a Ponzi scheme. In 2009 the bank went bankrupt.
According to the complaint, Giusti would be unfit to run the refinery.
Monk is a board member of the Hustisia pa Un i Tur (Justice of One and All) foundation. This foundation has filed several complaints against ministers and parliamentarians. One of these complaints resulted in Marilyn Alcalá Wallé having to resign as Minister of Education. A complaint was also filed against Steven Martina, because he acted in violation of the screening law. The former director of Guardian Group Fatum had taken part in the decision-making in the Council of Ministers about increasing the rate of third-party liability insurance. The Public Prosecution Service opened a criminal investigation. Ultimately, the case was dropped. Under the condition that he may not be guilty of the same type of offense for a year. As a shareholder (which he admitted from a distance), he should not have been allowed to vote.
