WILLEMSTAD – The owner of Quick Promo, a business operating in Curaçao, reportedly intends to file a police complaint against MFK Member of Parliament Javier Silvania following Facebook publications in which the former Finance Minister identified the company's owner and called for government intervention.
According to information circulating on social media, the dispute concerns Facebook posts published by Silvania about Quick Promo by Saoedl, a business registered with the Curaçao Chamber of Commerce.
In one of the posts, Silvania called on Justice Minister Shalten Hato and the police inspector to take urgent action regarding the company.
He urged the authorities to intervene to prevent the owner and other individuals associated with Quick Promo from leaving Curaçao.
Silvania also expressed concern that alleged victims could take matters into their own hands if the authorities failed to respond.
The parliamentarian's comments suggest concerns about the company's activities, although the material provided does not establish the nature of any alleged wrongdoing or whether a formal criminal investigation has been initiated.
In a separate Facebook publication, Silvania referred to information from the Curaçao Chamber of Commerce concerning Quick Promo by Saoedl.
According to the details he shared, the business is registered as a sole proprietorship, known in Dutch as an eenmanszaak.
Silvania identified the owner as Chanell Saoedl and stated that the company operates from Santa Rosaweg 68D.
He also indicated that the business was established on April 1, 2026.
The parliamentarian emphasized that, under the legal structure of a sole proprietorship, the owner is personally responsible for the business's debts.
Unlike a limited liability company, a sole proprietorship generally does not provide a legal separation between the business owner's personal assets and the obligations of the enterprise.
However, the existence of a sole proprietorship and the legal responsibilities associated with that structure do not, by themselves, establish that the business has committed any wrongdoing.
The image circulating online also contains photographs of the business owner that were included in Silvania's Facebook publications.
The reported intention to file a police complaint introduces another dimension to the controversy, raising questions about the publication of personal information and photographs in connection with allegations involving a private business.
The available material does not specify the legal grounds on which the proposed complaint would be based.
It also does not establish whether a formal complaint has already been submitted to the police or whether the authorities have taken action in response to Silvania's request.
No official response from the Curaçao Police Force or the Ministry of Justice was included in the information provided.
Similarly, the material does not contain a direct statement from the Quick Promo owner explaining her position regarding the allegations or the circumstances surrounding the proposed complaint.
The dispute highlights the potential consequences of public accusations made through social media, particularly when they involve identifiable individuals and businesses.
While elected representatives may raise concerns about suspected irregularities and request investigations, allegations of wrongdoing remain subject to verification by the competent authorities.
For now, the matter remains a public controversy involving statements attributed to Silvania and a reported intention by the business owner to pursue a police complaint.
Further clarification from Quick Promo, Silvania, and the relevant authorities would be necessary to establish the precise nature of the dispute and whether any formal legal proceedings have begun.
