The Dutch media is reporting that public prosecution department officials from Holland are travelling to Jamaica to question witnesses in a bribery case involving oil trader Trafigura.The trip is reportedly part of a probe into a controversial donation from the Netherlands-registered oil firm Trafigura to the People's National Party (PNP) four years ago. The scandal over the payment of a $31 million donation to the then-governing PNP led to the resignation of a cabinet minister, Colin Campbell. Trafigura, which says it has done nothing wrong, has had a contract with the state-owned Petroleum Corporation of Jamaica to handle its shipment and sale of crude oil on the world markets for more than a decade.The company has come under scrutiny in the Netherlands, as such donations to political parties are against the law in that country.Last July, Trafigura was fined EUR1 million for illegally exporting toxic waste to the Ivory Coast by the Amsterdam district court.
