WILLEMSTAD - The College of Financial Supervision (CFT) has initiated inquiries into the country of Curaçao's purchase of the former brothel Campo Alegre. Initially budgeted at seven million, the government's expenditure for the former brothel reached eight million guilders in taxpayer money during the auction. 

The government justified the acquisition by citing the absence of any serious bidders. The funds generated from the auction will be funneled into the crime fund. Additionally, the government deemed this a secure investment with minimal risk. The future use of the property remains uncertain at this juncture. 

The CFT's scrutiny underscores growing concerns within the financial oversight body regarding the circumstances and decisions surrounding the acquisition. The additional expenditure of one million guilders beyond the allocated budget has sparked inquiries into the rationale behind this financial adjustment. 

Questions are arising about the lack of competing bids and the government's perception of Campo Alegre as a secure and low-risk investment. Stakeholders and citizens alike are eagerly awaiting further clarification on the government's intentions for the acquired property and the potential implications of this unexpected financial outlay.
