ANTONIO AVENTURIN IN LINE TO BECOME SXM'S SINT MAARTEN NEXT MINISTER OF EDUCATION?

Since the selection process is ongoing, it’s no suprise that there appears to be constant changes and re-shuffling going on in the background. Silveria WAS  supposed

to be taking the position of Minister of Education. However, according to the political grapevine, Silveria has decided to remain in Parliament, and instead wants to appoint Antonio Aventurin, a huge Silveria supporter during the elections, to the position.

When it comes to political heresay, readers must be able to discern what is blogged as fact, and what is blogged as conjecture. When you read words like “grapevine”, “rumor”, “melee”, “alleged”, “supposed” etc, you’re supposed to be able to recognize that it’s mostly conjecture.

Everything posted is based on sources, however- like I said, the whole appointment process is in constant motion.

There are/were several people lined up for appointments, but they simply can’t/couldn’t pass the vetting process.

There are many agencies who collect confidential info in St Maarten. From the VDSM, the Lands Recherche, The Prosecutors Office, The Police, The Dutch, The Yu-Korsou’s etc etc….

There are some people who thought/think that their indiscretions were well hidden, but in the vetting process, many things that were done in the darkness, are now coming to light.

Some want to remain Parliamentarians, or to take other positions, because they don’t want to undergo the vetting process.

The the vetting process the screening includes finances, criminal records, are all opened for scrutiny.

There’s more updates to come

IS THERE A CONNECTION BETWEEN JEROEN VEEN AND ALLEGED MOBSTER FRANCESCO CORALLO?

There were allegations that Jeroen Veen was working for Francesco Corallo, but no one has provided any evidence to those claims.

I guess it will be left up to the ‘vetting committee’ to investigate the allegations furher.

Veen, who according to sources lives on property at Cupecoy, owned by Corallo, arrived in St Maarten in 1992.

Some claim that he is constantly in the company of Corallo, but it seems to be an informal relationship.

If, as suggested Veen has been giving Corallo, legal advice- but not in a professional capacity,

I’m not sure whether that is against the ‘rules’ or not.

As soon as Jeroen’s Veen name was suggested as the New Minister of Justice, the consigliere rumors started.

Consiglieri’s are Mob or Mafia lawyers…. pretty much, guys who advice Organised Crime- how to get away with illicit activity.

Until someon can come up with some real evidence, that PROVES Veen works/has worked for Corallo,

It will remain just that…….

speculation and rumor.

Emilien Krythof was shot in the vicinity of CayBay. He was taken to the St Maarten Medical Center, where he later succumbed to the bullet wound to his stomach. 

Emilien was the seventh murder in St Maarten this year, the Prosecutors Office is complaining about being overwhelmed and understaffed.
