Possible Link Between Jos Leijdekkers and the Overasselt Violence

The discussion examines whether a logistics employee’s account provides evidence linking fugitive Jos Leijdekkers, known as Bolle Jos, to the violence in Overasselt.

At the end of August, cocaine was seized near the Spanish–French border. The amount is disputed, but underworld rumours reportedly linked the shipment to Leijdekkers and Jan G., who was said to have been involved in transporting it. After the violence in Overasselt, a director at a Dordrecht transport company contacted police about an employee and a shipment from Ghana.

The employee, a 47-year-old Rotterdam resident, told police that on the morning of the violence, a Flemish-speaking man handed him a phone while he was walking his dog. He said he then spoke by video call with Leijdekkers, who introduced himself. The employee also described Signal chats about the shipment and said he was pressured to release its containers. Messages continued while he was at the police station, including threats that “the patron” was angry.

Investigators’ apparent theory was that the shipment—ultimately found to contain 4,000 kilos of cocaine—might be diverted beyond Jan G.’s reach after an attempt to eliminate him had failed. Police connected the information to the cargo, which was later seized in Dunkirk.

What the Account Does—and Does Not—Establish

The speakers stress that the employee’s account does not by itself prove Leijdekkers was responsible for the Overasselt attack. Some details of the employee’s story were reportedly corroborated, but the documents reviewed did not establish that the video caller was Leijdekkers.

Jan G. denies involvement and says he does not know Leijdekkers. Leijdekkers’ lawyers dismissed the account as implausible, with one comparing it to a Marian apparition. The claims remain contested.
