ALMERE - Dutch police have questioned a man suspected of making online threats against Curaçao’s Prime Minister Gilmar Pisas. The suspect, identified as M.T., has admitted to posting the messages and is scheduled to appear before a police court on January 29, 2026.

According to authorities, the man turned himself in at a police station in Almere on Wednesday, October 29, where he was formally interrogated as a suspect. Investigators allege that after reading an online post suggesting Finance Minister Javier Silvania should resign, M.T. published a threatening message directed at Prime Minister Pisas.

During questioning, the suspect was confronted with screenshots of his posts. He acknowledged having written and later deleted them, claiming he did not intend to issue threats and denied any deliberate intent to intimidate the Curaçaoan leader.

Prosecutors have charged the man and summoned him to appear before a single-judge police court in January. In the meantime, the court has imposed a behavioral order prohibiting him from contacting Prime Minister Pisas in any way — whether directly, indirectly, through third parties, or online.

The case has drawn attention in both the Netherlands and Curaçao, underscoring how political tensions and online discourse across the Kingdom of the Netherlands can spill into potential criminal acts.
