Summary
In Part 2, David Amoruso continues the story of Dutch master criminal Willem Holleeder and how he became the leader of a major Dutch motorcycle gang called the No Surrender. and eventually challenged the American based Hells Angels. It will be during this time he starts extorting money from a real estate named Willem Endstra.
Holleeder and Willem Endstra launder dirty money
Along the way, we learn that Willem Holleeder becomes an extortionist of wealthy European real estate investors. Holleeder went into business with a real estate businessman named Willem Endstra and involved him in money laundering. Holleeder had a dispute with Endstra and he became an informant about Holleeder and his criminal activities. Holleeder has Endstra and another partner murdered while they are on holiday in Thailand.
Dutch police investigate a top criminal (topcriminelen)
By 2006, Dutch police have charged Holleeder with murder and extortion and his trial was dubbed the trial of the century. Holleeder's lawyer, Bram Moszkowicz, argued that media pronunciations on Holleeder as one of the "topcriminelen" had prejudiced the case against him.

| 0:00.0 | You are listening to Gangland Wire, hosted by former Kansas City Police Intelligence Unit Detective Gary Jenkins. |
| 0:18.9 | Wiretappers, welcome to part two of our two-part interview of Dutch-based organized crime reporter, David Amaroso. |
| 0:26.8 | If you have not listened to Part 1, I recommend you go back and learn how our subject, Wellem Hollander, became a famous master criminal in all of Europe. |
| 0:37.4 | You know, his first crime, you may have even seen the movie or have heard a movie, a famous master criminal in all of Europe. |
| 0:41.5 | You know, his first crime, you may have even seen the movie or heard of the movie kidnapping Freddie Heineken. |
| 0:43.4 | Well, he was a guy that kidnapped Beer Baron Freddie Heineken and collected about $12 million. |
| 0:49.4 | So settle back and listen to this second part about the story of the kidnapper of Freddie |
| 0:55.0 | Heineken. |
| 1:02.6 | He never left the underworld. |
| 1:04.5 | So he was still, despite going on taking photos with his fans, everyone wanted to take |

| 1:41.7 | picture with Willem Hallater thinking that he had served his time and all he did was a kidnapping. All he did was some extortion. So, you know, it's not that bad. But here he was just continuing with his criminal career. He never really admitted regret. He never quit his day job, if you will. He just continued on with doing what he, I guess, loved, |
| 2:03.2 | because that's the only reason why you continue doing stuff like that, despite the dangers |
| 2:07.3 | that come with it. But yeah, he joined his biker gang, and he was with them for just a short |
| 2:13.3 | period of time. And then he left again, and people were just like, okay, this is just how it goes. |
