Face it, like the US, Netherlands (and it's dependent territories) is under the rule of law.

Under the rule of law? Then why did ALE wait 10 days to arrest the 3 men to last be seen with Natalee? Surely not to allow them to destroy evidence. /sarcasm

Why was PVDS' property not fully searched, but only where he allowed?

Even in the US there are periodic convictions for judges accepting bribes. I would imagine it could happen in Aruba, too.

The judge-trainee Paulus was into gambling, along with his son. Was he upholding the law against underage gambling when he was in the casinos with his son, gambling?

When Beth, Jug, police and others arrived at PVDS' home about 3AM on May 31st, Paulus said maybe Joran was at one of the casinos. Some parenting! Some moral character for a judge-in-training

I do not see what possible benefit ALE would have to go soft on them. As far as bribes - there are so many people involved in this "conspiracy" that the bribe tab would truly be astronomical.

Only if you think gambling is morally wrong. Also much of the world has a more relaxed attitude towards age restrictions. That a 17 year old can enter a 18 year old only place does not surprise me at all.
