Нідерланди оголосили винагороду у €2 мільйони за допомогу в затриманні наркобарона

This is the largest amount ever promised to be paid for information about a wanted criminal in the Netherlands, ”the report said.

It is noted that Leideckers, according to law enforcement officers, is hiding in Sierra Leone, where he allegedly has close ties with influential people, in particular with the country's president.

Police and prosecutors hope that the increased reward will encourage residents of Sierra Leone and other West African countries to provide information about the movement of the offender and his whereabouts.

The Minister of Justice and Security of the Netherlands, David Van Vil, said that the authorities are striving to make the reward for valuable information more attractive, especially for people from the environment of Leideckers. At the same time, he stressed that the message should directly contribute to the detention of the suspect.
