"Campo Alegre has become Campo Landfill".
LOCAL.
By Correspondent Jan. 6, 2023.
WILLEMSTAD. The former open-air brothel Campo Alegre has become 'Campo Landfill', according to reporters from a morning newspaper.
The site is not closed and many people take this opportunity to dump their waste. It is still unknown what will happen to Campo. Last year, the auction of the site was postponed twice. According to the Public Prosecution Service, there would be no candidates who meet the conditions. No new date has yet been announced for the auction.
Campo Alegre was closed after 71 years at the start of the corona crisis. The open-air brothel had millions of debts outstanding and the corona measures gave the final blow.

Posts: 119Campo closed, cost to island
I have been to Curacao scuba diving for over 20 yrs but with Campo closed, no reason to come visit. I just imaging other mongers who now take a pass on visiting Curacao. Costing the island much business. I wonder how much hotel business they lose with Campo closed.

Posts: 119Campo price
I found this searching the sale of Campo.
The reason for the auction is a confiscation order by the court. Millions that came from the underworld would have been laundered by investing in the property. The auction must raise enough to pay a judicially imposed fine of some 14.9 million Netherlands Antillean guilders, with proceeds to go to the Crime Prevention Fund.

Whoever wants it has to pay all cash. Banks down here in the ABC islands will not finance campo or pachis because they don't want to be associated with what the mainstream local business culture considers a 'dirty' business.
These islands are generally conservative and religious-the old folks and govt people believe in church over blowjobs for sale.

Posts: 119Campo, reason for high price
Is the government trying to collect a high debt on the property. Was the previous owner jailed for money laundering or some thing else.

Posts: 209It was a good thing while it lasted
In the the last years the money was simple not going were it was supposed to because of a bad administration, a lot of theft, which led to a lot of debts, and then as a perfect storm came covid.

They were not allowed to involve in the girls business but the suggested price for service started with $28 a pop for 30 min. The girls had to paid each a daily rent of $71. Which with a minimum of 150 girls working there comes out to $10,650 daily excluding what the girls had too spend in food beverage and laundry. Now add what the clientele was spending daily in there in food and booze and you will have some serious figures coming in daily.
