Kidnapping

Cor van Hout, Willem Holleeder, Frans Meijer&#;[nl] and Jan Boellaard&#;[nl] had been preparing the kidnapping for two years.

Martin Erkamps&#;[nl] was later involved. Several attempts to kidnap Freddy Heineken and his driver Ab Doderer at Heineken's home in Noordwijk failed when Heineken and Doderer did not show up. Subsequently, they were kidnapped on 9 November at in front of Heineken's office at the Weteringplantsoen&#;[nl] in Amsterdam. They were detained for three weeks in a Quonset hut, belonging to Boellaard's wood manufacturing company, at business parkDe Heining in Westpoort, in the western part of the Amsterdam harbour area.

The hut was prepared in advance by the creation of a double wall on one end, with two soundproof cells with a hidden door. This made the meter long hut shorter on the inside by 4 meters, which went unnoticed. Outside working hours, the kidnappers provided for their prisoners, who were tethered to the wall with chains. The payment of the ransom was the highest ever paid for a kidnap victim at the time:^[9] 11 million dollars.^[10] The kidnappers fled before releasing the hostages, but, after a "lucky lead", the police discovered the hostages alive.^[11]

After the release of the hostages on 30 November, Van Hout and Holleeder managed to escape.

They both fled to Paris.
