The convicted drug boss Piet W. (53) was arrested by the police on Tuesday morning in a home in Almere. He is suspected by the police and the judiciary of involvement in two liquidations in 2019 in Amsterdam and Curaçao. The former professional football player Kelvin Maynard (32) and Genciël Feller (23) were shot dead. W. is also suspected of large-scale cocaine trafficking.

Police have raided at least seven different locations. This happened in homes, a hotel room and at a company in Amsterdam, Almere, Rotterdam and Diemen. The police searched for data carriers and administration, among other things.

Piet W. has been detained for questioning and will be brought before the examining magistrate in Rotterdam on Friday.
