killThe big crime-boss. Or the Dutch Godfather. People have all names for him. Willem Holleeder. Born on 29 May 1958. In Amsterdam. And from there he built a kingdom. But not a normal kingdom. A criminal kingdom. He began young. When he was a young kid on school he already black-mailed kids and took money from them. Then he was with his partner-in-crime Cor van Hout. They kidnapped Freddy Heiniken (yes, the big boss of Heiniken), but escaped too France when other plans fails. Together Holleeder en Van Hout became members of the big criminal gang of Klaas Bruinsma. Bruinsma was called the Dominee. And he was the big shot in the crime-world then. But on 27 June 1991 Bruinsma is killed. Holleeder and Van Hout take over the 'bussiness'. But only then it really began. Holleeder and Van Hout moved too Belgium. And they met another criminal Sam Klepper. Klepper and Holleeder became partners. So criminals who became partners. They were real partners and had all kinda of criminal activities. And yet they had to make there biggest move. They made a kartel. A kartel of biggest criminals in the Netherlands. Willem Holleeder, Sam Klepper and John Mieremet joined together. Yet, they needed someone in the 'real' life instead of the 'criminal' life. They made a deal with Willem Endstra. One of the big hot-shots of the rich in the NetherlandsAnd they had big success. But I don't think Holleeder had enough of it....
In a busy shopping-centre in Amsterdam Sam Klepper is liquidated. Klepper one of the partners in crime of Holleeder. He's murdeded. Possible killer? Holleeder himself. At least according to Endstra. Yes, indeed the same Endstra who was the partner of Holleeder. Holleeder doesn't know that yet. But then a big article appears in de Telegraaf. In which Mieremet makes known that Endstra talked to the police and warned Mieremet about an possible assault on his life. Ok, so Holleeder was pretty pissed about that. But he black-mailed Endstra instead of killing him.
Cor van Hout is next. 24 Januar 2003. He was also killed in Amsterdam. And again according to Endstra, Holleeder is the killer. And that while Van Hout was married to the sister of Holleeder. But Endstra said that Holleeder said: "They cry a few weeks and then it's He didn't care how he hurted his sister, just as long as he hadn't a opossition.
Then a long time nothing happens. Holleeder made his 'kingdom' bigger. He makes contacts with other peoples. Laywer Evert Hingst, George van Kleef (a criminal) and Kees Houtman. Houtman and Van Kleef were friends. But Van Kleef helps Holleeder and black-mails Houtman. And altough Houtman gave complains too the police nothing helped. Houtman had a few conversations with Holleeder. And the police tought it was right...but not according to Endstra. But yet, Endstra couldn't warn Houtman.
May 2004. Endstra is now known as 'the bancer of the underworld'. Endstra denies everything in a televisionprogram. Two days later Endstra is murdered. Now Endstra can not warn anyone anymore. It's over. Police does have is testimonies. But they doesn't use them. Untill...november 2005.
Only Mieremet and Holleeder are alive from the big kartel which was formed. Mieremet flees to Thailand. He knows that his life is in danger. That evening Kees Houtman is liquidated. And...Mieremet too. Both probarly an assigement from Holleeder. But because Houtman was 'loved', his friends wanted revenge. So eight days later on 10 november 2005 Van Kleef is murdered. Because they think he took the assigment from Holleeder. But Holleeder wasn't touched. In January 2006 finnally Holleeder was arrested. Because of Endstra. Yes, Endstra was killed, but his conversation were saved. These 'Endstra-tapes' are the proof for the case against him. But the laywer of Holleeder, Moszkowicz, denies that these tapes are proof. They are not good. According to him no-one has to be afraid of Holleeder. Holleeder isn't behind all these murders. Is Moszkowicz a new partner of Holleeder? Well, if you read back what I wrote, you all know what happens to the partners of Holleeder. And Holleeder himself? He will not go to jail. He has enough contacts, enough money and his laywer is 'good' enough. Holleeder is untouchable at the moment and he will be, untill he is killed. And for now, that won't happen.
