PROSECUTOR ANGELA

As first confirmed by Bon Dia Aruba some weeks back, Minister Rudy Croes spoke about the arrival of prosecutor Angela from Curacao, who is a respected Aruban in his field of work. His objective will be to conduct an independent investigation of the case of Natalee Holloway. However he will not be located at the Public Prosecution. The mandatory demonstrated that he doesn’t want for prosecutor Angela to be influenced by the Public Prosecution and as such, he will be given all the information for him to work on during his stay here in Aruba. Here he will be able to do work completely independently.

TALK A LOT

The work of the prosecutor will be to help with the investigation and solve this, and where things went badly, to solve this to avoid these from happening again in the future. The mandatory sent a strong signal for those who are talking too much, for them to stop talking a little and let the authorized people speak. According to the mandatory, a few times he has heard people speak nonsense on television.

LINE OF COMMAND

He spoke of a letter that he sent to all departments where they have to follow the line of command. If you a boss, you have to follow the line. If you show a lack of respect for your boss, the Minister cannot accept this from any government department, less still from the Public Prosecution.
