Omroep Flevoland - News - Community service sued former Hells Angels chief for money laundering
On Thursday, ‘Big’ Willem van B, the former head of the Hells Angels in Amsterdam, was sentenced to 240 hours of community service for money laundering. The 67-year-old Elmerder is said to have laundered more than 1.7 million euros between 2001 and 2014. According to prosecutors, the man kept this criminal money hidden in accounts in Switzerland for twenty years.
Van B. was identified as a suspect in October 2013, after prosecutors began an investigation following a report from the tax authorities. The man participated in a voluntary disclosure scheme to the tax authorities, in which he voluntarily gave up assets stored in Switzerland. He still paid tax on this, but the tax authorities suspected that this money had a criminal origin. Van B. could not prove the origin of those funds.
The money made by milking pigeons
Big Willem was head of the Hells Angels in Amsterdam for 35 years until he was evacuated in 2004. The former boss then moved to Almere. Since 2013 he participated in the No Surrender Motorcycle Club until this club was banned in 2019.
Van B says Himself he earned €1.7 million from the 1970s through the “trading of pigeon dairy products”. It was also about the ‘over-profit’ from The Last Place in Amsterdam. “I don’t hate paying taxes, but I do when it’s too much.” Plus, he got black when celebrities, like Sylvester Stallone and Bruce Willis, needed protection when walking through the red-light district. “I escorted Sammy Davis Jr myself,” the suspect said.
‘unbelievable’
The Public Prosecution found these statements to be implausible. According to the officer, his work as a “red light district guard” refers to the red light security staff at Hell’s Angels, “so there is no legal income either.” The man will also get a large income from the pigeon trade. Inquiries about this at the Luxury Pigeon Breeders Association came to nothing. The officer usually asks for forty months in prison, but now this case is very old. That’s why he stuck to the community service order.

Van B’s criminal record is negligible. According to his lawyers, a significant part of this amount can be explained by the capital growth in the years 1978 to 1999. Already at the end of 1999 there was such a large amount in the accounts that this fact has largely become out of date. Evidence has not been provided on the suspicion that this capital was “for the Hells Angels pension,” according to the attorneys.

Disgraced Hells Angel ‘Big Willem’ arrested

AMSTERDAM — Detectives have arrested the former president of the Amsterdam Hells Angels, “Big Willem” van Boxtel, it was reported on Thursday. He was expelled from the motorbike club recently for allegedly accepting a contract to kill top criminal Willem Holleeder.
Two other people, Willem de M. and Willem P., were also detained when police carried out a series of raids on houses and premises in Amsterdam and nearby towns.
Big Willem was held when detectives searched the Angels-run café The Other Place on the Oudezijds Voorburgwal in Amsterdam’s Red Light District. Newspaper Het Parool reported several houses belonging to the Van Boxtel family were also raided.
The Hells Angels have claimed Van Boxtel admitted last week he had been recruited by property tycoon Willem Endstra to kill the “Angel friend” Holleeder for EUR 1 million. Van Boxtel allegedly received a EUR 250,000 advance on that sum.
The plan, a lawyer for the club said, was to plant a bomb in the Angels’ own social centre – known as Angel Place — on H.J.E. Wenckebachweg in the Watergraafsmeer district of Amsterdam.
The Angels claim Van Boxtel admitted Willem P. was to plant the device. The plotters were not concerned about the possibility some of their Angel “brothers” could also be killed, the club said.
Willem de M. is described as Willem P.’s close friend.
No such attack was carried out, but the alleged instigator Endstra was shot dead in Amsterdam in May.
The intended victim, Willem Holleeder, is best known as one of the people who kidnapped beer magnate Freddie Heineken in 1983. In recent years, he was said to be associated with Endstra, who had denied claims he was the banker to the underworld in the Netherlands.
The Amsterdam Hells Angels said Van Boxtel was stripped of club membership when he allegedly confessed to the murder plot. His Hells Angels tattoos were removed and he was made to hand in all of his club possessions.
The club said for its part it considered the matter closed. It was also reported Thursday that Amsterdammer Willem P. has been expelled from the Westport chapter of the Hells Angels.
The Hells Angels have not provided any independent evidence to show there was a plot to kill Holleeder or that any of the men arrested were involved.
Justice officials have also indicated that they do not consider an alleged confession made to a Hells Angels solicitor has the same standing as a confession made to police.
