AMSTERDAM - The former president of the Amsterdam Hells Angels who was kicked out of the club and then arrested on Thursday could be about to turn rat and testify against his former motorcycle club.
Unnamed Jusitce sources told newspaper De Telegraaf on Thursday that officials believe that "Big Willem" van Boxtel could give statements about the Hells Angels' involvement in alleged criminal activities. Big Willem was arrested days after he was expelled from the club for allegedly accepting a contract to kill Willem Holleeder. The arrest was directly linked to the alleged murder plan. Willem de M. and Willem B., were also detained when police carried out a series of raids on houses and premises in Amsterdam and nearby towns.
The Hells Angels tossed Van Boxtel after finding out he had been recruited by property tycoon Willem Endstra to kill Holleeder for EUR 1 million. Van Boxtel allegedly received a EUR 250,000 advance on that sum before Endstra was shot and killed in May.
The plan against Holleeder, a lawyer for the club said, was to plant a bomb in the Angels' own social centre on H.J.E. Wenckebachweg in Amsterdam.
The three alleged plotters were not concerned about the possibility some of their Angel "brothers" could also be killed, the club said.
