In a significant development in the criminal case involving Ginmardo Kromosoeto, Gardelito Hew-A-Kee, and Robert Putter, the court has allowed additional time for legal rebuttals. Following a 200-page defense plea by attorney Nailah van Dijk, the presiding judge, Ishwardat Sonai, granted the public prosecutor, Roline Gravenbeek, the opportunity to supplement her response. The judge also extended the chance for two absent attorneys, Murwin Dubois and Benito Pick, to present their arguments. The case is set to resume on November 20. Van Dijk argued that the Public Prosecutor’s Office failed to provide substantial evidence linking her clients to participation in a criminal organization. She also contested the late addition of charges to the case file, stating that some allegations were introduced two years after the initial summons, violating both international treaties and local laws. Among the added charges were money laundering and involvement in a criminal organization. Van Dijk further demanded the exclusion of evidence against Putter, citing that he was interrogated as a witness, not a suspect, in 2021. She emphasized that the interrogation should not be used against him if he were later deemed a suspect. Additionally, Van Dijk disputed the classification of Kromosoeto as a public official and provided a detailed analysis of two companies allegedly linked to the Surinamese Post Savings Bank.
