The defense of the former minister, including the Dutch lawyer Stijn Franken, reacted very disappointed to the verdict and announced that they would appeal in cassation. According to the defense, there is no evidence of Jamaloodin’s involvement. Jamaloodin, half-brother of one of the island’s biggest lottery bosses Robbie dos Santos, himself denies any involvement in the murder.
However, according to the Public Prosecution Service, the main people involved in the murder are in prison. For example, Curaçaoan Elvis Kuwas is serving a life sentence for various murders, including the one on Wiels. Burney ‘Nini’ Fonseca, also from the island, has been held for 26 years for arranging the murder.
