WILLEMSTAD.- Yesterday the former Girobank director, Eric Garcia went up the 21 stairs of the Court building where he filed a petition to the Court to pursue two “partners” who should also be considered suspects in his case. It is about two men surnamed Silver and Hu who live in the United States. Garcia was sentenced on May 8th to 4 years in prison for a case of embezzlement, forgery and money laundering. These two men were suspects in his case who carried the name “Astro”. The Public Prosecutor’s Office didn’t want to persecute these two American men and now Garcia appeared before the Court to request the Public Prosecutor’s Office to prosecute and prosecute these two citizens, Silver and Hu.
During the hearing, Garcia explained that he forged the documents, instead of asking the magistrate he decided to create that test to present it before the magistrate, obtaining them from the companies of Silver and Hu, but Silver and Hu also cooperated in this case and were not prosecuted.
Garcia was accused of embezzlement when acting as Curator, forgery of documents of Banco Maduro on behalf of Banco Maracaibo N.V. and also money laundering, all this during the period from January 1st 2010 to July 20th 2016 in Curaçao and likewise in USA. According to the indictment Garcia embezzled a sum of 11 million American dollars from Banco Maracaibo N.V; and consequently, accused of forgery of documents.
