The Netherlands’ most notorious gangster: Willem Holleeder

Willem Holleeder is a convicted Amsterdam gangster, whose rap sheet runs from a high-profile kidnapping, extortion, and at least 25 murders.

Holleeder, nicknamed De Neus for his gigantic nose, was born in 1958 in the Amsterdam neighbourhood of Jordaan. 

Yet from his humble beginnings, he quickly became a crime boss — and ended up with a string of criminal charges that have left him imprisoned for life after being incriminated by his own sisters. 

So who was this Al Capone of Dutch crime scene?

BREAKING: On June 24, 2022, Willem Holleeder has been sentenced to life in prison. Holleeder has been found guilty of the murders of five people, the participation in activities related to organised crime, and other charges, reports NU.nl

De blik van die man ook. Brrrrrr. Hoeveel geld en mankracht is justitie nu onderhand al kwijt geweest aan deze man, en hoeveel zijn ze opgeschoten? > Hoger beroep Willem Holleeder in zaak Vandros https://t.co/OWtb4QK4qf pic.twitter.com/unPyvNTaXH — Cortés (@Cortes) November 17, 2020

The start of a criminal career

Willem began his career in crime in the 70s, by forming a gang composed of his friends Jan Boellaard , Frans Meijer and Cor van Hout . 

The gang was part of vigilante groups that attacked squatters on the behalf of homeowners and developers.

Willem’s gang even committed a spectacular speedboat-assisted armed robbery of a money order office in Amsterdam — but were never formally caught and charged. 

However, his most notorious crime — and one of the most famous in Dutch history — was the 1983 kidnapping of Freddy Heineken, the CEO of Heineken and one of the richest men in the Netherlands. 🍻

Kidnapping of a beer boss

On November 9, 1983, Heineken was leaving his office in Amsterdam just before 7 PM. 

As he met with his driver, Ab Doderer, the two were suddenly ambushed by four armed men: Holleeder, Van Hout, Meijer, and Boellaard. 

The kidnappers abducted Heineken and his driver, taking them to a holding location in a business park in the Amsterdam harbour. 

The criminals had planned the kidnapping almost two years in advance, building a false wall in a long, galvanised steel working shed to hold their prisoners. 

The kidnappers demanded a ransom of 35 million Dutch guilders (around €15.8 million today) for the release of the two men.

They contacted police through advertisements in the newspaper, cassette tapes, and even through pseudonyms. Meanwhile, Heineken and Doderer were kept chained to a wall in the shed.

Two weeks after the kidnapping, Heineken’s family met their demands and handed over the ransom, against the advice of the police. It was the highest ransom ever paid for a kidnapping victim at the time. 💰

But guess what? It turns out, you can’t actually trust criminals. 😅 The kidnappers grabbed their ransom and then ran away — without releasing Heineken and his driver from the secret shed. 

However, thanks to an anonymous tip, a police agent was able to come and rescue the men on November 30. 

Holleeder and Van Hout hit the road, fleeing to Paris. Just three months later they were arrested by French police. They fought extradition to the Netherlands for almost three years, before being returned in October 1986. 

In 1983, Holleeder was sentenced to 11 years imprisonment for the kidnapping. Yet when he emerged, he was far from reformed.

The crime boss’s dramatic return

All that money that Holleeder had snagged as part of Heineken’s ransom? Well, several million guilders were never found. It’s believed that Holleeder and Cor van Hout, who was now Holleeder’s brother-in-law, used these funds for their new extortion empire. 

He got into business with real estate mogul Willem Endstra, but when Van Hout was killed in 2003 their relationship deteriorated.

This is where it gets cold-blooded. Endstra reportedly secretly testified against Holleeder to the police, linking him with around 25 murders — including Van Hout’s. 

But in yet another killing, Endstra was shot dead in broad daylight near his office in 2004. Holleeder and his then partner-in-crime are believed to have ordered the hit. The two were also linked to another deadly shooting, of John Mieremet in Thailand in 2005.

Holleeder ended up back in a courtroom in 2006 linked with the deaths. At the trial, lawyer Bram Zeegers testified that Holleeder had extorted millions of euros from Endstra. However, just one week after the testimony, a drug overdose left Zeegers dead. 

During the trial, another body was added to the count: linking Holleeder to the alleged involvement in the murder of a Yugoslavian drug dealer. 

After being found guilty of extortion (yep, just extortion), Holleeder was sentenced to nine years in prison, of which he served six. 

From criminal to celeb

Despite protests from politicians who didn’t want Holleeder to become glorified, upon his release, Holleeder jumped headfirst into the media. 

First, he appeared on College Tour, a TV show that uses an audience of a few hundred people to interview high-profile guests. 

Then, Holleeder collaborated with Dutch rapper, Lange Frans, to release a record titled Willem is terug (“Willem is back”). 

Finally, Holleeder began to publish a weekly column for the Dutch general interest magazine Nieuwe Revu. 

For the princely sum of €2,000 per column, the crime boss wrote about his daily life, experiences, and things he found interesting. Luckily, Holleeder never saw the money — the justice department confiscated it immediately. 

Betrayed by his sisters

As Holleeder rose after his stint in prison, police kept a close eye on him — thank goodness. He became suspected of the extortion of Theo Huisman, the ex-president of Hells Angels Holland’s Amsterdam chapter. 

In May 2013, a huge police sting with 450 police and army personnel was successful in nabbing Holleeder, but a trial against him was unsuccessful.

Two years later, Holleeder was again sitting in jail. Here, he was visited by his sister, Astrid, who was fearful that Holleeder would have her killed. 

To help bring him down, she collaborated with the police by secretly recording his confession on a visit. Holleeder’s other sister, Sonja, who was married to Van Hout, also gave evidence against her brother. 

Astrid’s fears were well-founded. Holleeder later had even more charges laid against him for allegedly ordering hits on Astrid, Sonja, and Peter R. de Vries , a well-known crime journalist and a witness against Holleeder in his trial. 

Holleeder had allegedly solicited the killings from two members of a Curaçao gang, one of whom informed authorities about the plot. However, the gang member later recanted his confession, potentially under pressure from Holleeder. 

Life in prison

At the ripe old age of 61, Willem Holleeder, Amsterdam gangster, was ordered in 2019 to serve life in prison. His official rap sheet included: 

• The fatal shooting of Sam Klepper in 2000
• The murder of Cor van Hout, his friend, brother-in-law, and ex-accomplice in 2003
• The death of Willem Endstra in 2004
• The shooting and death of Kees Houtman, a drug dealer, in 2004
• The death of Thomas van der Bijl, a family friend, in 2006

Holleeder was also found guilty of ordering a 2002 attempted murder, and the manslaughter of Rober ter Haak who died of bullet wounds in the same attack that killed Cor van Hout. 

Today, Holleeder remains behind bars.

Willem Holleeder te gast in College Tour

Tijdens de opname mogen studenten hem onder leiding van presentator Twan Huys interviewen, maakte de NTR woensdag bekend.

Na zijn vervroegde vrijlating in januari baarde Holleeder al opzien door aan de slag te gaan als columnist bij het tijdschrift Nieuwe Revu. Ook schoof hij vorige maand aan bij dj Ruud de Wild voor een radiouitzending van 538.

In een promotiefilmpje op de website van de NTR zegt Holleeder ernaar uit te zien alle vragen van studenten te beantwoorden. Holleeder vergaarde nationale bekendheid als een van de ontvoerders van biermagnaat Freddy Heineken.

In 2006 werd hij opgepakt en veroordeeld tot 9 jaar cel voor afpersingspraktijken. Hij heeft zijn straf uitgezeten, maar is nog wel verwikkeld in een ontnemingsvordering waarbij justitie bijna 18 miljoen euro van hem wil hebben.

De opname van College Tour is op 11 oktober. Op vrijdag 12 oktober wordt het programma met Holleeder uitgezonden.

Net als na de aankondiging van de column in Nieuwe Revu leidt ook het optreden in College Tour tot kritiek en regent het reacties op Twitter . ''Idioot dat deze man zo'n platform krijgt'', twittert de Amsterdamse wethouder Eric van der Burg (VVD). ''Wat volgt hierna, een eigen talkshow op primetime?''

Holleeder in College Tour: 'idioot' en 'van de zotte'

Het optreden van oud-topcrimineel Willem Holleeder in het programma College Tour leidt al ver voor de uitzending tot veel kritiek. Het regent reacties, de meeste negatief.

"Idioot dat deze man zo'n platform krijgt", twittert de Amsterdamse wethouder Eric van der Burg (VVD). "Wat volgt hierna, een eigen talkshow op primetime?" Van der Burg noemt bij WNL de keuze van de NTR-programmamakers voor de Heineken-ontvoerder 'sensatiezucht' en alleen bedoeld om de kijkcijfers op te krikken.

Doodzwijgen tot het graf

Oud-hoofdinspecteur Kees Sietsma, die de leiding had over het politieonderzoek naar de ontvoering van Alfred Heineken en zijn chauffeur Ab Doderer, vindt dat 'we hem met z'n allen moeten doodzwijgen tot het graf'. "De media hebben hem altijd hoog geprezen, dit past daarbij. Het ergste is dat je onder jeugdigen een zeker mate van verheerlijking veroorzaakt", zegt Sietsma in De Telegraaf.

Ook Klaas Wilting, voormalig woordvoerder van het Amsterdamse politiekorps, noemt Holleeders optreden 'van de zotte'. "Onbestaanbaar dat mensen die de meest vreselijke dingen hebben gedaan tegenwoordig worden neergezet als helden."

Best leerzaam

Maar niet iedereen is tegen de uitzending. Zo denkt D66-Kamerlid Verhoeven dat het programma best leerzaam kan zijn: "Dit lijkt me een interessante uitzending.Holleeder heeft zijn straf uitgezeten. Misschien zitten er nog wel educatieve elementen in het gesprek."

Presentator Twan Huys

College Tour-presentator Twan Huys noemt het onzin dat Willem Holleeder verheerlijkt wordt door hem als gast uit te nodigen in het tv-programma College Tour. "Dat vind ik flauwekul. Ik maak het programma nu vijf jaar en we hebben allerlei gasten te gast gehad. Om een misverstand weg te nemen, er komen niet alleen Nobelprijswinnaars in College Tour. We hebben ook een programma gemaakt met Nick Leeson, de bankier die Barings Bank heeft opgeblazen", aldus Huys op Radio 1 .

Volgens Huys zijn er goede redenen om Holleeder uit te nodigen. "Willem Holleeder is in 1983 een van de ontvoerders geweest van Freddy Heineken en Ab Doderer, zoals iedereen weet, en daarna heeft hij in bijna 30 jaar tijd de Nederlandse misdaadscene vaak vertegenwoordigd op de voorpagina's van de Nederlandse kranten. Hij heeft in al die jaren nooit gesproken over wat hij gedaan heeft."

De College Tour-uitzending met Willem Holleeder in de hoofdrol wordt volgende week vrijdag uitgezonden.

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.

Out of the Centre

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.
