Josheph's brother Wilhelmus was just arrested in Turkey
NL Times is reporting that "Fugitive drug criminal Bolle Jos was sentenced by the criminal court in Dendermonde on Tuesday to eight years in prison for smuggling drugs from Sierra Leone to Antwerp. In addition to the prison sentence, he received a fine of 80,000 euros and a ten-year ban from ports."
"According to the court, Jos Leijdekkers, better known as Bolle Jos, played a key role in the October 2023 trafficking operation that brought 11 tonnes of cocaine from Sierra Leone into the Port of Antwerp concealed in a shipment of palm kernel meal. The cocaine was estimated to be worth 550 million euros on the street."
"Multiple media reports claim that the convicted drug trafficker is residing in Sierra Leone under the protection of the country’s president. Jos is allegedly in a relationship with his daughter, with whom he is said to have a child. Dutch authorities have been seeking his extradition, though their efforts have so far failed to produce results. Justice Minister David van Weel spoke in Geneva with his Sierra Leonean counterpart a week ago."
"Jos is alleged to have coordinated the shipment of cocaine from Sierra Leone to Belgium. The container of palm kernel meal concealing the drugs was later collected by associates at the Port of Antwerp in Beveren."
"A rival of Bolle Jos, who had previously been his close associate, was also present at the location. A conflict between the two sides ultimately led to the maritime police being notified, followed by customs officials being alerted." His former partner turned rival ratted him out. Imagine that.
"Belgian police first uncovered the identity and massive scale of fugitive Dutch drug kingpin 'Bolle Jos' (Jos Leijdekkers) after a violent clash broke out between his network and a rival faction at the Port of Antwerp. This dispute was sparked when the rival gang attempted to steal over 11 tonnes of cocaine that belonged to Leijdekkers, prompting maritime police to investigate and seize the drugs." So who's the rival? Bust this guy and business continues as usual.
"While Leijdekkers has no confirmed presence in Israel, he has previously hidden in Sierra Leone and Turkey, sparking rumors that led to public discussions by some political commentators about the possibility of an Israeli operation."
