MPs in the Dutch Parliament have proposed a motion urging Curaçao to beef up its gambling and anti-money laundering regulations.
Members of Parliament Van Nispen (SP), Michon-Derksen (VVD), and Van der Werf (D66) put forward the motion during a two-minutes debate on security the Netherlands’ Caribbean possessions.
It comes as Curaçao puts the finishing touches on its new LOK gambling law, which aims to tighten oversight in the offshore gaming hub.
The motion noted that money laundering is a major problem on the island, with connections between organised crime and civil society posing risks for the integrity of public administration.
