In a few weeks the book Holleeders Underworld will be published , written by Wim van de Pol. Van de Pol was the only journalist who had access to the complete police files of the criminal case against Willem Holleeder and to documents from files from dozens of other murder cases that appear to be related to the case.

In the new book Van de Pol outlines, among other things, alternative scenarios for those who can be behind the murders of which Willem Holleeder is suspected. He often quotes from official reports. This creates a complete picture of the underworld war that held the Netherlands in its grip from 1999. A very different picture than the limited history that has so far been outlined in the media. In addition to Holleeder, there appear to have been other key players.

More than a Jordaan family quarrel
The book also shows that the lawsuit against Holleeder is much more than a picturesque Amsterdam-Jordaan family quarrel. It is also the end of an era full of greed and reckoning. A period in which numerous conflicts ran together, with more than one main player.

Raw reality
In Holleeders Onderwereld we regularly read the raw reality directly from the original police files, made readable and provided with an explanation by the author. It is the original, personal stories of the criminals themselves, witnesses and victims who paint a never-before-seen picture of Holleeder's underworld.
