Beethovenstraat
Het Parool reports today the identity of the Monday-liquidated 62-year-old man in the Beethovenstraat in Amsterdam. It was about Ivan Serdarusic. Not a well-known name in the media, but according to the newspaper, he belongs to a group of criminals who have been under fire for some time. Some members of this gang would have been liquidated earlier.

Conflict
Serdarusic, who lived in both the Netherlands and Croatia, would have been active in real estate. On the internet you can find a number of sites with his name on which Croatian real estate is offered. He would have had a conflict in the past with another criminal about the legality of a child that his wife would have had with another man.

Drug trafficking
A well-informed source reports Panorama that Serdarusic was mainly active in the drug trade. He would have been 'ripped' from a party of drugs, and had plans to punish those he thought of this. Apparently his enemies were ahead of him and they killed him before he could act himself. The gang to which the Croat belongs has been the interest of the investigative services for some time.

Shooter
The police are still looking for the gunman. He has carried out the liquidation almost nonchalantly, it seems. In daylight he shot down Serdarusic, while he enjoyed a consumption inside the restaurant Ferelli's on the Beethovenstraat. The archer, who is small in size, and quite muscular and 'sun-tanned', probably walked there through Amsterdam-Zuid in the direction of Museumplein. Witnesses would have seen him at that last location. During this flight, the perpetrator not only left his firearm, a pistol with a silencer. There is also a beige hat that probably belonged to him, a black laptop bag, a glove and a white-blue shirt. Items dropped so carelessly that they may also have been placed on the escape route as a distraction.
