Transport worker claims Bolle Jos video call warned him in Overasselt
A 47-year-old was arrested later in a cocaïne transport probe tied to containers.
A 47-year-old transport worker says he received a phone showing an open video call with fugitive Jos Leijdekkers, alias “Bolle Jos”, on the day of the violence in Overasselt.
The man told police he was contacted early on 1 September, when he was out walking his dog. A Flemish-speaking man handed him a phone with a live video connection, and Leijdekkers allegedly warned him to stay away from a man at the centre of a dispute over a missing consignment of cocaine.
Police later arrested the transport worker several days after the Overasselt violence in an investigation into a cocaine transport. He said he helped by forwarding containers from Ghana, which were meant to be handed to a specific Belgian carrier.
The transport worker also told police he communicated with Leijdekkers via Signal, using the username “Ambassador”, according to a report cited in the case coverage. Sources in the criminal milieu also claim Leijdekkers communicates through video connections.
Leijdekkers is described by police and justice as someone who has been in West Africa for a long time and is linked to international cocaine trafficking. His lawyers deny he was the person who instructed or ordered the violence in Overasselt.
Last status: the transport worker has been arrested, and the matter is still part of the wider cocaine transport investigation.
