Surinamese former finance minister wanted by Interpol | Abroad

Less than a year ago, the then Surinamese attorney general already issued a search warrant for Hoefdraad. So far no trace of him has been found. The placement of Hoefdraad on the Interpol list was actually supposed to take place early this year. Suriname, however, needed more time to pass on the correct information.

Hoof wire is suspected of money laundering and corruption. At the beginning of February, the Surinamese Public Prosecution Service demanded twelve years in prison against the former minister.

The Hoefdraad case is part of a larger case involving the Central Bank of Suriname. More suspects are involved in this, such as the previous president of the Central Bank Robert van Trikt, the director of the Surinamese Postal Savings Bank Ginmardo Kromosoeto and several employees of the Central Bank. According to the Public Prosecution Service, Hoefdraad had contact with all these suspects.
