WILLEMSTAD - This week, the court ruled in the case that Gerrit Schotte and Cicely van der Dijs had filed against Curaçao. This concerned Schotte's request to hear Italian prosecutor R. Pellicano as a witness.
That request was repeatedly rejected by the Court on 16 November 2016, 12 June 2017 and 21 July 2017.
The judge decided on Thursday that Pellicano may be heard.
Gerrit Schotte and Cicely van der Dijs were represented in this case by Lizaima Da Costa Gomez from Da Costa Gomez Legal and the Knoops law firm from the Netherlands. The country Curaçao was assisted by Carine Jansch and Sueena Franciso from OX & WOLF.
