Prosecutors link three more deaths to Funcaps, raising total to 21

Curaçao's Public Prosecution Service (OM) announced Thursday that it can now link three additional deaths to substances sold through the website Funcaps, bringing the total number of fatalities connected to the case to 21. The prosecutor made the statement during court proceedings, indicating that evidence has been gathered to prove the latest three victims died as a result of products purchased via the Funcaps platform. Funcaps was an online retailer that sold psychoactive substances, and the case has grown into one of the most serious drug-related prosecutions in Curaçao's recent history. The rising death toll underscores the severity of the charges facing those accused of running the operation. Prosecutors continue to build their case as the trial progresses, with the expanding number of linked fatalities likely to weigh heavily on sentencing outcomes.
