The police do not rule out that the wanted Jos Leijdekkers (31) from Breda occasionally resides in the Netherlands. This appeared in the broadcast of Opsporing Requested on Tuesday evening. The police say he could sometimes be in the Netherlands to “lead his suspected drug empire.” The Public Prosecution Service has increased the reward for the tip leading to the arrest of Leijdekers from 75,000 to 200,000 euros.
Rich life
Leijdekkers is suspected of large-scale cocaine trafficking and money laundering, and of involvement in the disappearance and presumed death of cocaine dealer Naima Jillal. He is on both the National Tracking List and the European ‘Most Wanted’ list.
The police and the Public Prosecution Service strongly suspect that family members of Leijdekkers live very lavishly on Jos’ criminal income. For example, the family owns a very expensive apartment in Dubai, a Bentley, and worth tons of watches and designer items, among other things. In Opsporing Requested, the police showed images of those luxury items. At the beginning of this year, the police raided and searched relatives of Leijdekkers.
Imagery
The police and OM say they have more footage of Leijdekers.
On 3 May 2022, the Public Prosecution Service placed 31-year-old Jos (Joseph Johannes) Leijdekkers on the National Investigation List and the ‘EU Most Wanted List’.
According to the police, Leijdekkers has stayed in Dubai and Turkey. In the latter country, a special team is currently searching for wanted foreigners who have gone into hiding in that country.
