PRIME MINISTER EMAN'S RECOGNITION FOR CORRUPTION DONE BY ARUBA'S DEPUTY POLICE COMMISSIONER

(Aruba's Deputy Police Commission, Jeanette Richardson-Baars & Prime Minister Mike Eman)

According to the Prime Minister of Aruba, Mike Eman, The Deptuy Police Commissioner of Aruba is an "example to all countries in the world". With great affection, Prime Minister Eman even goes so far as to state that "Jeannette, OUR Jeannette, is one of the 10 people who have been set as an example to all countries in the world on how to effectively combat Human Trafficking. 

In that case, we should all analyze the exact steps taken by this Deputy Police Commissioner of Aruba regarding Human Trafficking, and we should all know what Jeanette Richardson-Baars and her Police Department really did to win this award from the United States.

1.     Rather than shutting down the illegal brothels operating in full blown glory amongst the women and children of San Nicolas Aruba, the Aruban authorities and this so called “Hero acting to end modern-day slavery” shut down the absolute one and only bar in San Nicolas NOT doing Prostitution, while leaving all the other bars open to sell Black and Hispanic women for a measly $30USD?

2.     In order to remove Aruba’s name from the Human Trafficking “blacklist” that the United States put Aruba on, Jeannette Richardson-Baars along with members from the Police Department that she oversees, setup a bogus human trafficking case under all sorts of false pretenses in order to make it appear as if Aruba is working to combat Human Trafficking.

 In fact in order to deceive the United States on their first ever reporting period on the Annual Trafficking report, Mrs. Richardson-Baars and her department embarked on a vendetta based campaign against  the manager of the Foxy Lady Bar, Alex Mathew; whom also happens to be the very same person that several prominent members of the Aruban Government, the Public Prosecutors Office of Aruba along with the police department that Mrs. Richardson-Baars oversees, have a long standing history of personal problems and conflict with. 

3.     In order to meet the requirements set on these reports from the United States and  for Aruba to claim to have suddenly identified up to 46 adult victims of Human Trafficking in 2010 (while having absolutely no victims the years prior), the Aruban police went around the world working like criminals to obtain these so called “victims”.  

4.     In a blind pursuit to win a conviction (as this is one of the requirements set by the United States for Aruba to meet),  the Aruban police went to the extremes of pressuring and coercing women to declare themselves as victims, offering money and incentives in exchange for making declarations against Alex Mathew and the other defendants of the Foxy Lady case, threatening witnesses whom refuse to go along with their schemes against the defendants in the Foxy Lady, falsifying witness statements/declarations in order to meet their goals, etc.

5.     Structuring witness statements by interrogating the witnesses in a manner that is totally illegal and with all sorts of suggestive questions in order for the Police to obtain the answers suitable to them; And not to mention the Aruban authorities and members of Richardson-Baars Department contacting witnesses to coach and instruct them on what to declare against the defendants during interrogations.

Thus the Prime Minister of Aruba, Mike Eman, should really tell the world which of these acts  committed by Jeannette Richardson-Baars and her Police Department, does he think the world should use as an “example”.

The fact of the matter is this award is an absolute disgrace!   Jeannette Richardson-Baars and the actions taken by her and her Department in the Foxy Lady case just to appease the United States and just to reach a Human Trafficking conviction, is an absolute disgrace!

The Aruban people deserve and expect much better.  Mrs. Richardson-Baars and her Police department’s actions are an utter disgrace to the Aruban people and disingenuous to the people in which they serve. Their continued acts of lies, corruption, cover-ups, and setups are the exact reason to which Aruba’s name has and will continue to be thrown into a negative spotlight; Corruption will always backfire sooner or later! Every lie is exposed one day……one way or the other!
