Filed under: Investigation & Prosecution Management
This follow-up report evaluates the progress made since the 2014 investigation into the execution of fines, compensation, and seizures in St. Maarten. Despite some improvements in administrative processes, the report highlights significant ongoing deficiencies in the execution process. Key issues include inadequate enforcement of fines, low compliance rates, and insufficient use of legal tools to ensure payment. The report recommends the immediate reactivation of key ICT systems, improved cooperation between judicial bodies, and stronger enforcement measures to ensure effective execution of financial penalties.
