SMN News learnt that the suspect fell ill while in custody and she had to be rushed to the St. Maarten Medical Center for treatment. Sources say that Mrs. Antoine is under a doctor's care and that was one of the reasons she was held at the Pointe Blanche Prison and not the Philipsburg Police holding cell.
Mos said the judge extended the detention but later suspended it. Winia Antoine is accused of stealing $150,000.00 from the Windward Islands Bank. He said the investigation is ongoing and they thought that it would have been proper to keep her in police custody.
It should be noted that Antoine held a senior position in the credit card department of the Windward Islands Bank and she placed the monies on her credit card, she also managed to elude the security system. Antoine worked for more than 20 years at WIB.
