WILLEMSTAD – Representatives of the Caribbean Petroleum Refinery (CPR) say they will not give up easily. The company has big plans for the refinery and revealed this for the first time during a press conference on Thursday. Refineria di Korsou (RdK) ended negotiations on Wednesday to take over the refinery.
CPR made no secret of wanting to invest heavily in the refinery and also wants to play an important role in the region. RdK no longer believes in it after the Central Bank and RdK itself reported forgery by the group of the well-known Venezuelan Luis Giusti who is the former President of PdVSA.
The group, meanwhile, plays the murdered innocent, saying the forged documents belonged to a financial partner with whom there is now no contact. “Several other parties are in talks who would like to invest and our lawyers are in the process of testing their reliability,” said Raul Socorra, CEO of CPR.
RdK has since indicated that it will start discussions with other parties. CPR regrets this and in particular RdK also suspends the negotiations on the Bullen Bay oil storage.
