THE HAGUE, WILLEMSTAD - The operator of online gambling games based on Curaçao, mBet Solutions, has asked the member of the Dutch parliament Ronald van Raak to stop talking about the company. He must also adhere to the "constitutional duty to respect the authority of the government in Curaçao."

On behalf of mBet Solutions, the Dutch law firm Gaming Legal Groep warned Van Raak by letter (delivered by a courier) to take steps against him if he does not comply. The letter states that this action consists of informing the media, submitting a complaint to the Second Chamber of the Dutch Parliament and going to court.

Van Raak, who, just like journalists who report on the Curacao gambling mafia, often receives intimidating mail, is not impressed by the threats from the Gaming Legal Group.
