Dutch Authorities Announce Record €2 Million Reward for Fugitive Drug Lord

November 2, 2026 • 4 hours ago •

AMSTERDAM: Dutch police have issued a record €2 million reward for information leading to the capture of fugitive drug lord Jos Leijdekkers, who has been convicted in absentia for cocaine smuggling and is believed to be hiding in Sierra Leone.

Leijdekkers, a notorious figure in the European drug trade, was sentenced to 12 years in prison after being found guilty of orchestrating a large-scale cocaine trafficking operation. Authorities have intensified their search for him, emphasizing the seriousness of his crimes and the threat he poses to public safety.

This unprecedented reward reflects the Dutch government’s commitment to combating drug-related crime, which has surged in recent years, impacting communities and straining law enforcement resources. The move aims to encourage public involvement in the search for Leijdekkers and disrupt the networks that facilitate drug trafficking.

In the coming weeks, Dutch authorities plan to collaborate with international law enforcement agencies to track down Leijdekkers. They are also expected to launch a public awareness campaign to inform citizens about the ongoing investigation and the importance of reporting any leads.
