On May 18th 2010 a complaint was filed by a suspect against two detectives, who are working for the ‘Recherche Samenwerkingsteam’ (RST, Kingdom detectives), concerning alleged ill treatment and assault.
The complaint was investigated by a Special Investigation Unit of the (former) Netherlands Antilles.
Based on the results of this investigation the Prosecutor’s Office has reached the conclusion that there are no grounds for criminal proceedings against the two detectives. Moreover there is reason to doubt the sincerity of the complaint. Therefore the case is dismissed based on the fact that the two detectives were considered suspects on insufficient grounds.
