Four Years Later, What's the Progress in the Investigation into the Disappearance of Naima Jillal?
Four years after the mysterious disappearance of Naima Jillal, nicknamed "the cocaine godmother," the Dutch police still struggle to solve this puzzle. On October 20, 2019, this figure in the drug trafficking world got into a black BMW in Amsterdam and was never seen again.
Grim photos discovered a month later on a phone seized in Dubai during the arrest of a Dutch drug lord suggest the worst: they depict a naked woman, bound, and tortured. For the police, it is "likely" to be Naima Jillal, who may have been executed due to a settling of scores or a cocaine deal gone wrong.
Today, investigators are applying pressure and offering a €200,000 reward for any information leading to the arrest of Jos Leijdekkers, a drug trafficker known as "Bolle Jos." According to intercepted encrypted messages, he may have played a "significant role" in Jillal's disappearance. Actively sought, the man is believed to be on the run abroad, prompting the Dutch police to seek assistance from their Turkish counterparts.
Four years after the incident, the body of "the cocaine godmother" has never been found, and her presumed murder remains shrouded in mystery. The police still hope to completely unravel this case with apparent mafia ties.
