The drug investigation into Jan G., who was described as the target of an outbreak of violence in Overasselt, was under heavy pressure. Authorities alleged that, under the alias “Maestro”, he had been involved in cocaine trafficking. That information led to the interception of 3,900 kilograms of cocaine in Dunkirk, Jan G.’s arrest while in hiding and extensive security measures around a transport company in Dordrecht. Authorities feared a repeat of the events in Overasselt.
