 | Willem Holleeder is the most famous gangster in the Netherlands, best known for his role in the kidnapping of beer tycoon Freddy Heineken in 1983. The 59-year-old is accused of being involved in the deaths of at least half a dozen underworld figures, including his brother-in-law. Holleeder is also accused of four attempted murders.
Holleeder said he was the victim of a conspiracy. Houtman’s widow noted that that her husband was one of three men who had once been friends with Holleeder, all of whom ended up dead. |  |
