Read it:
The Netherlands is orderly, rich and honestly governed, and for forty years it has also been where Europe's drugs arrive and their money is counted. This book follows the trade from the Heineken ransom and the hashish fortunes, through a police unit that let drugs onto the market, a prosecutor's deal that handed a dealer back his millions and banks that failed to stop criminals using their accounts, to the murders of a crown witness's brother, his lawyer and his confidant, a six-year trial in a fortified courtroom, and a fugitive living openly in Freetown. Covers Ridouan Taghi and the organization an Amsterdam court found he led, Willem Holleeder and the developer Willem Endstra, Jos Leijdekkers and the Antwerp-Rotterdam cocaine route, and the banks ING and ABN AMRO.
