Dutch liquidations

After yet a new liquidation, senior reporter Alexander Steinbach from the program Weltjournal from the Austrian public broadcaster ORF travels to The Netherlands to produce a background reportage about the series of criminal murders taking place in the Netherlands.

it seems the underworld has found its way to the upperworld in the Netherlands. Huge criminal profits are invested in real estate via traders and information is leaked by corrupt police. Since the early nineties of the last century dozens of criminals, real estate traders and lawyers have been brutally killed, often in broad daylight and in the middle of the street.

Alexander Steinbach looks for answers meeting a known and well-informed crime journalist, a criminal law lawyer with a history as a leader of an Amsterdam police infiltration team and a professor of the Dutch Police Academy.

All interviewees state that the Dutch criminal branch is turning into a mafia like world, where huge sums of drugs money have to be laundered causing serious corruption, especially in the real estate branch, at law firms and at the police.

For this reportage Featurez proposed the idea for the reportage, did the research, set-up, and planning, accompanied the filming, did translations and organised archive material.
