Joint Court reopens liquidation of four Curaçao gambling companies

Regulation

The Joint Court of Justice of Aruba, Curaçao, Sint Maarten and of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba ordered the liquidation of four dissolved Curaçao iGaming companies to be reopened, following a request by Dutch tax authorities. The 27 May 2025 judgment found the authorities had a credible legal interest after a reported €130m sale of gambling assets.
