'Piet S. made statements about his role in the underworld'
The Hague drug lord Piet S. recently made a series of statements to detectives in the Taxus investigation, in which he and others are suspected of large-scale drug transport. According to De Telegraaf, he said that he mediated in the conflict between the groups of Gwenette Martha and Houssine A., which led, among other things, to the double murder in the Amsterdam Staatsliedenbuurt.
Referee
S. describes himself as a sort of underworld arbiter who mediated conflicts. Piet S.: 'war is not money.'
It was recently announced that Piet S. and drug trafficker Stanley “Kai” Esser , who died last year, had been asked to mediate in the conflict surrounding the De Groot fruit company in Hedel.
Piet S. broke the silence at the Rotterdam headquarters but did not mention any names. He says he testified because he was forced to do so because of allegations that he would lead a global drug network. S. denies those allegations.
“Mocro War”
S. says he mediated for years in the “Mocro War” with three others and has “contributed to a solution.” S. says that he regularly used listening devices to check whether stories were correct. He also mediated a dispute over the amount of crystal meth that could be extracted from chemicals. Through contacts in Mexico he was able to get the correct information about this.
According to S., there was a pot in which crime groups put money. S. and his fellow mediators were paid from that pot
Piet S.: 'One of the reasons was also that they ended up with us, that we no longer import anything ourselves. We had no interest in doing things.' S. says that his decades of experience allowed him to check exactly whether stories were correct and that he understood 'business processes' and problems well.
The godfather from The Hague also told how he bought up companies in South America and then started a legal flow of goods with those companies. These companies were then subjected to various checks in which nothing was found. Then he sold those companies.
S. confesses in the past – in the eighties – to have dealt in drugs, especially in hash. He has also been convicted for this.
