PARAMARIBO, Suriname, CMC – President Desi Bouterse Tuesday hinted that the arrest of his 41-year-old son in Panama last week may have been part of a wider plan to disrupt progress within the Union of American States (UNASUR).
Dino Bouterse was held on drugs and gun related charges last Thursday at the request of US authorities, just as South American Heads of State were gathering in Paramaribo for their annual summit.
“They chose a perfect moment. I couldn't have done it better and I have to respect that. Fortunately it didn't reach its intended goal,” Bouterse told a news conference on Tuesday.
