Alex Cornelissen

Alex Cornelissen

November 6, 2023 After a year of no response and no explanation from Alex Cornelissen I will see him in court in Amsterdam on Wednesday, November 8th.

I have not had any response from any of you since the email I received last summer dismissing me from the Board, a dismissal where there was no…
