Dutch police offer record €2m reward in hunt for drug lord
Dutch justice minister David van Weel said the reward increase was necessary given the threat Leijdekkers poses to national security, democratic rule of law, and the international legal order.
Dutch police previously accused Leijdekkers of being one of the key players in international cocaine trafficking.
Jos Leijdekkers is 35 years old.
“necessary given the threat that Leijdekkers poses to national security, our democratic rule of law, and the international legal order”
