- The Curaçao Public Prosecutor is investigating tax authority head Alfonso Trona for promising tax refunds in advance to companies, officials, and politicians.
- Trona allegedly intervened in tax collection, granting significant financial advantages to high-ranking officials and politicians, while payment reminders were often not sent to others.
- The Dutch financial oversight body (Cft) has repeatedly raised concerns about large outstanding tax debts and lack of progress on a reorganization plan.
- The local population is demanding clarity, with some supporting Trona and blaming the former finance minister for abuse of power.
- Trona remains officially in his position but is currently on vacation amid the investigation.
