WILLEMSTAD - The legal proceedings against Edmiro and Shamiro Antia, a father-and-son duo in the construction industry, are set to move forward. The charges include forgery and human trafficking, suggesting the involvement of illegal personnel on construction sites managed by the Antias. The arrests occurred in November, and despite the examining magistrate's decision in December not to prolong their detention, the duo remains under suspicion.
The Public Prosecutor's Office has now confirmed its decision to initiate prosecution. The case has attracted considerable public attention, especially given Edmiro's past role as the head of the fire department and Shamiro's prominence as a well-known gospel singer.
