SUPER CRIMINAL HOLLEEDER FINALLY WANTS TO TALK

Since a few days it turns out that Dutch super criminal Willem Holleeder, who was arrested around a year ago, decided he will finally talk during his trial. Holleeder, who became famous after he kidnapped the beer magnate Freddy Heineken together with his late partner, gave a secret telephone interview to a criminal investigation TV program yesterday.

Until now Holleeder never ever said anything to a judge, public prosecutor or to the press. In the interview he said he wants to finally parry all lies about him. Especially the criminal real estate trader Willem Endstra, that talked to special police forces just before he was liquidated, blamed Holleeder of extortion and many of the criminal liquidations in and around  Amsterdam.

In the interview Holleeder says: ‘Nobody know Endstra better than I do. It will mean that during the process I will come up with my truth about Endstra, and that is a lot more than the late, also liquidated, criminal John Mieremet declared, namely that Endstra was the banker of the Dutch underworld. Mieremet also accused Holleeder of being the guard of the ‘underworld banker’ and of extorting real estate traders, among which Endstra. Also the Dutch justyice department sees Holleeder as an extortioner, money launderer and multi-killer.

Holleeder is jailed in an extra protected prison since a reliable source reported that Holleeder was planning to escape with extreme ‘firearm violence’. Since he was arrested just over a year ago he kept his mouth shut constantly, but now he says to be happy to be able to speak for himself at the judge. The trial will be held April this year.

Hereunder a few Holleeder quotes of the secret TV-interview:

‘I read some things in my dossier. Of course I had to bite my lips about what I all read, about the nonsense of it all.’

‘Look, I know myself that I never committed extortion. To me that could have been made clear a lot earlier and a lot clearer.’

‘I still believe I am in The Netherlands. And what you did not do, you did not do, isn’t it?’

‘I will be happy to be able to speak for myself, so I can defend myself for one time. (…) but I do hope that I get an honest trial.

‘What is very important to me, is the fact that I am on a hit list myself since approximately
’98. The only thing I did was to hide myself, and things like that. And for the rest, yeah…’ more features
