He served as a chairman of Sovereign People (the largest political party in the Estates after the October 2012 election)[2] and was a vocal campaigner for Curaçao's independence from the Kingdom of the Netherlands.[1] Wiels was assassinated on 5 May 2013 following earlier written threats on his life. Elvis Kuwas, a hitman for the "No Limit Soldiers" drugs gang that had planned the assassination, was found guilty of three counts of murder (including that of Wiels) and was sentenced to life imprisonment in August 2014.[3] BiographyWiels was born on 9 December 1958 into a lower-middle-class family[4] from Westpunt. He became a social worker and radio maker[4] before joining {{lang|pap|Niun paso atras}} (Papiamento for "No step backwards") and constituting {{lang|pap|Aliansa Sivil}} (Civil Alliance).[5] In 2005, he founded Sovereign People (Pueblo Soberano),[6] a leftist political party that won the popular vote in the October 2012 elections.[2] Associated Press news reports characterized Wiels’ outspoken rhetorical style as charismatic but sometimes divisive.[12] He was a proponent of Curaçao’s independence, a promoter of stronger ties with its South American neighbors, and wanted to stop U.S. Air Force surveillance planes from using Willemstad's Airport as a base while participating in multinational counter-drug missions in the Caribbean.[7][12] He also asserted that, if Curaçao ever achieves its full independence, it must declare Papiamento, English and Spanish as its official languages because "Dutch is a dead language, the same as Greek or Latin".[8]AssassinationAccording to Nelson Navarro, Minister of Justice at the time of Wiels' assassination, the party leader had received several death threats and the government was assisting him with security personnel[9] but on 5 May 2013, Wiels had sent the bodyguard home and went to Marie Pompoen Beach, located on the eastern side of the island. Around 5 pm, while he was drinking a beer and socializing at the pier, two men approached him and shot him five times before fleeing the scene in a gold-colored car. His body fell face down and lay in the sand until the paramedics arrived and pronounced him dead.[9][10][11] In the days that followed his assassination, the local authorities pursued several lines of inquiry. One of them, suggested by Donald Balentina –Wiels' successor as leader of {{lang|pap|Pueblo Soberano}}– was a political vendetta, as Wiels constantly made anti-corruption speeches and had recently denounced the sale of Robbie’s Lottery numbers through UTS, a public telecommunications company with no license to do so (in the process, making them available to minors and allegedly concentrating the profits at an offshore bank in Sint Maarten).[9][12] Other politicians, such as Ronald Plasterk, Minister of the Interior and Kingdom Relations of the Netherlands, were hesitant to blame Wiels' murder on the recent scandal, claiming that “it could also be because of the way he took on corruption, or the drugs world or something else rotten.”[9] Two brothers were arrested after a threatening movie surfaced on YouTube following the murder, stating that "Wiels was the first victim and more blood would be shed", but both were released after two weeks.[13][14] Eventually, the police arrested Elvis Kuwas alias "Monster", a gunman for the "No Limit Soldiers" drug gang of the Koraalspecht district, which had planned the execution and paid him {{Currency|23000|EUR}} to carry it out.[15] On late August 2014, Kuwas was sentenced to life imprisonment, and the ruling was upheld by the Supreme Court of the Netherlands in July 2016.[15][16] References1. ^1 {{cite news|title=Curacao politician Helmin Wiels shot dead|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-22424009|accessdate=6 May 2013|date=6 May 2013|agency=BBC News}} {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Wiels, Helmin Magno}}2. ^1 {{cite news|title=Pueblo Soberano biggest party after elections 2012|url=http://www.curacaochronicle.com/local/pueblo-soberano-biggest-party-after-elections-2012/|accessdate=6 May 2013|newspaper=Curaçao Chronicle|date=19 October 2012}} 3. ^{{cite news|title=Nieuwe verdachte moord Helmin Wiels aangehouden in Nederland|trans-title=New suspect in murder of Helmin Wiels arrested in The Netherlands|url=http://nos.nl/artikel/2110135-nieuwe-verdachte-moord-helmin-wiels-aangehouden-in-nederland.html|accessdate=2 April 2017|publisher=NOS|date=10 June 2016|language=Dutch}} 4. ^1 {{cite book|title=Caribbean Sovereignty, Development and Democracy in an Age of Globalization |year=2013|publisher=Routledge|location=United Kingdom| isbn=9781136274329| page=264|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=KqH1OV_PiUsC&pg=PT264&lpg=PT264&dq=Helmin+Wiels|editor=Linden Lewis|accessdate=7 May 2013}} 5. ^1 {{cite news|url=http://www.antilliaansdagblad.com/images/stories/adnews/2012/oktober/20-10-12/P01.pdf|newspaper=Antilliaans Dagblad|title=Wiels grote winnaar|trans-title=Wiels big winner|language=Dutch|accessdate=20 October 2012|date=20 October 2012}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.versgeperst.com/nieuws/174458/partijen-aan-het-woord-pueblo-soberano.html|language=Dutch|title=Partijen aan het woord: Pueblo Soberano|date=12 October 2012|accessdate=20 October 2012|author=Leoni Leidel-Schenk}} 7. ^1 {{cite news|last=Romero|first=Simon|title=Curaçao Faces Friction With Chávez Over U.S. Planes|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/12/world/americas/12venez.html|accessdate=7 May 2013|newspaper=New York Times|date=11 July 2010|page=A9|quote='When you are small, you have to be wise, and when the big ones are in a quarrel, small countries have to stay out of that,' said Helmin Wiels, 51, the leader of Pueblo Soberano, a leftist party here that wants to expel the American surveillance planes.}} 8. ^{{cite news|last=Romero|first=Simon|title=A Language Thrives in Its Caribbean Home|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/05/world/americas/05curacao.html?_r=0|accessdate=7 May 2013|newspaper=New York Times|date=5 July 2010|page=A7|quote=Helmin Wiels, 51, leader of the leftist party Pueblo Soberano, which favors a complete break from the Netherlands, said that if Curaçao were to achieve full independence, its official language should be Papiamentu, along with English and Spanish.
