An in-depth investigation into Nardy Cramm's battle against Curaçao's corrupt gambling system, press freedom under attack, and the assassination that started it all.
The story of Nardy Cramm represents one of the most significant battles for press freedom and regulatory integrity in the modern gambling industry. This investigation reveals how a single Dutch journalist's crusade against corruption in Curaçao's gambling sector has exposed a web of political assassination, money laundering, regulatory capture, and systematic suppression of press freedom that reaches the highest levels of government and industry.1
Cramm's dual role as investigative journalist and victim advocate has forced a reckoning with Curaçao's permissive gambling system, one built on deliberate opacity and designed to enable rather than prevent financial crime. Her work connecting the 2013 assassination of politician Helmin Wiels.2 to gambling industry corruption has catalyzed landmark legal victories that have reshaped press freedom in the Dutch Caribbean while exposing the lethal stakes of challenging powerful interests.
Through her media platform Knipselkrant Curaçao (KKC.1 and legal advocacy foundation SBGOK.3, Cramm has successfully driven corrupt operators to bankruptcy, secured Supreme Court victories for journalistic freedom, and forced regulatory reforms. However, this success has come at enormous personal cost, including criminal prosecution, financial harassment through Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPPs), and death threats that have forced her into hiding.
