Life

Van Hout (nickname: Flip , or Flipper , because of the pinball games ) was born in Amsterdam. In 1974 he started working for a "company" that specialized in the forcible evacuation of occupied houses . He is also believed to be behind a number of raids in and around Amsterdam from 1977 to 1982, along with his eventual accomplices in the Heineken kidnapping. He was the mastermind behind the kidnapping of beer magnate Alfred Heineken and his chauffeur on November 9, 1983. They held Heineken and Ab Doderer prisoner for three weeks in a shed in the western Docklands of Amsterdam. Van Hout and his accomplice Willem Holleeder , the brother of van Hout's friend Sonja Holleeder, fled to France, where they were arrested. Back in the Netherlands, van Hout was sentenced to eleven years in prison.

He was released in 1991 and immediately became a criminal again. He built a gang whose main activity was the sex industry .

On March 27, 1996, he survived an attack in Amsterdam. He should have robbed the "Delta Organization". Willem Holleeder stated on September 11, 2007 that Sam Klepper and John Mieremet had ordered this attack. In 1997, another plan to kill him was uncovered by the police. Van Hout was arrested on October 6th of that year. He was sentenced to prison on May 18, 1998, but was released early from prison. On the night of December 20-21, 2000, there was another attack on van Hout. He was shot several times without being injured. In April 2001 van Hout received a tax refund of 1.7 million guilders .

assassination

On January 24, 2003, van Hout was killed in Amstelveen . Ship dealer Robert Hook from Amsterdam and real estate agent Willem Endstra were seriously injured. After the murder, an informant reported to the Amsterdam police that Endstra was possibly another person to be killed. In fact, he was murdered the following year. In March 2006 it became known that Holleeder was the client for the murder of van Hout. Holleeder had plans to kill his own sister - married to van Hout - and their children too, to make sure they would not take revenge. To divert attention from any suspicion, Holleeder paid 250,000 euros for van Hout's funeral.

On April 17, 2007, two suspects were arrested by the police for the murder. The public prosecutor made 30,000 euros available for clues about the perpetrators.
