The Public Prosecution Service wants Jos L., better known as 'Bolle Jos', to pay more than 221 million euros to the Dutch State. According to the judiciary, this is only a fraction of the amount he earned from the cocaine trade.
The amount consists of costs for intercepted cocaine shipments, but also gifts for his family members and the purchase of apartments and even a hotel in Turkey.

In a criminal case in the Netherlands in which L. was sentenced to 24 years in prison, the judiciary already concluded that he had an estimated annual turnover of 2 billion euros. The amount that was recovered in the Rotterdam court on Monday is much lower.
