Burglary in family grave from The Hague “godfather” Piet S.'
September 24, 2022

The family grave of The Hague crimeboss Piet S. was broken open a few weeks ago. According to Algemeen Dagblad, it appears to be a well-prepared action. The fence has been cut in a corner of the Sint Barbara cemetery, in a place that is out of sight of surveillance cameras. The family grave is a small building with four doors. Two doors have been demolished.

It is unknown if the burglars took anything there.

The roof of the building is made of copper. At the top of the wall is written in black letters: 'Where life begins and love never ends'. Below there is an image of a cross and a kneeling Jesus figure.

The last interment was in 2016. That was the brother of Piet S. – Jaap S..

Piet S. (66) has been in pre-trial detention since September 2020. He is the main suspect in the Taxus investigation into a criminal organization that is said to have committed large-scale drug trafficking. Important evidence comes from EncroChat's police hacked chats. The police also sent police infiltrators to members of the alleged criminal organization.

Breaking open graves is a crime that is rare in the Netherlands. The Algemeen Dagblad writes that in Traveller circles, violation of graves is regarded as a great offense and insult.

In December last year, De Telegraaf reported that Piet S. would have made extensive statements about his role in the Dutch underworld. Among other things, he would have tried to mediate between the parties in the bloody feud between two groups in the Amsterdam underworld.
