Sister of ruthless crime chief dared her life to secretly record his allegations of gangland murders

The sister of a ruthless crime boss told about the heartbreaking moment when she hid a microphone in her bra to write him in secret about his murders.

Revealing her ultimate betrayal, Astrid Holleeder hid the recording device in the only place she knew he would not look like since she was talking to her brother Willem, the most feared criminal in the Netherlands.

Knowing that she would be killed immediately if he found out, Astrid said she had started her own brother because this was the only way he could be brought to justice.

The hours of the incriminating tires have once again executed the celebrity gangster – who in the 1980s carried out the Dutch crime of the century by kidnapping the boss of the Heineken beer empire – and facing life in prison.

Astrid Holleeder, sister of ruthless crime, boss Willem (together pictured as children) told about the moment she hid a microphone in her bra to secretly record him about his murders.

Exclusively for MailOnline, Astrid said: "I know that I have committed the ultimate betrayal and the evidence that I collected could put him in jail for the rest of his life.

& # 39; But he had to be stopped. He had turned into a serial killer and I knew I could only get him on tape if he could not manipulate the evidence. & # 39;

Astrid put a mini-microphone on her bra and when Wim called to speak at her home in Amsterdam she could record his word.

"Wim would settle me because he distrusted everybody, but he did not touch me for my breasts," she said.

I was not convinced that the microphone picked up its whisper, so once it had sewn into my jacket collar. I was terrified that he would find it.

& # 39; By the end of that day I would have been dead, if not in hours, if he had found out. I was his sister and I collected evidence to put him in jail for the rest of his life. & # 39;

Wim, 60, has been compared to the gangsters of the sixties Ronnie and Reggie Kray because of his ruthlessness and desire for attention when mixing with celebrities.

From his prison cell he reportedly signed a contract about the life of his sister, in revenge for her informant.

It has meant that the life of Astrid as a successful criminal lawyer has been turned upside down and is now part of a witness protection program.

Despite the fact that they are in a safe house. lives with disguises and a bulletproof car, Astrid believes she will die because her older brother will ever kill her.

I know that I am on borrowed time and whatever happens to Wim's process, he will catch me. If he is acquitted or found guilty and sent to prison for life, he will come for me.

& # 39; I just want to live as long as possible. & # 39;

Astrid has already provided evidence against Wim, who for 35 years ruled the Dutch criminal underworld and is on trial at a supreme security court for six murders of gangland rivals.

Her decision to betray him, that of & # 39; The Sopranos & # 39; can be torn, has led her to write a bestseller entitled & # 39; Judas & # 39; that has turned into a Dutch TV series with actress Rifka Lodeizen who plays Astrid.

The Amblin production company of Steven Spielberg also wants to make a series about her life.

But her betrayal has been at the expense.

She has limited contact with friends and is often too scared to meet her daughter Miljuschjka, a former model and star chef with her own show on Dutch television.

& # 39; I know that as long as I'm here and alive, Wim will not go after my family, & # 39; she said. & # 39; I am the one who has committed the ultimate betrayal.

& # 39; Strange as it may seem, I try to leave my brother in prison for the rest of his life, but I still love him. & # 39;

That is how her fear is, Astrid rarely ventures. If she does, it can be disguised if a man or a prosthesis carries a nose and false teeth.

All foreigners are seen as a possible threat, she never sits with her back to the entrance of a building and makes sure she travels alone in a bulletproof car.

By agreeing to the MailOnline, she devised an extensive plan using an anonymous hotel phone to lead us to an industrial estate where she waited.

As a lively 52-year-old, she asked that no description was written about her appearance out of fear that it would be an essential clue to a hired assassin who would help her end her life.

Her life-changing decision came in 2013 when she realized that her brother was behind the murder of Cor van Hout, the husband of her sister Sonja.

Until his death in 2003, when he was shot outside a Chinese restaurant, Wim and Cor were partners in the crime.

In 1983 they became the most famous criminals in the Netherlands when they kidnapped Freddie Heineken, the boss of the brewing kingdom, and held him hostage until a ransom of £ 15 million was paid.

The kidnapping, which later became a Hollywood movie with Anthony Hopkins as Freddie, shocked the liberal nation.

Astrid, then 17 years old, was arrested together with Sonja, but was later released when the police realized that they had no knowledge of the crime.

Wim spent three years in prison in France, where he had fled, and later served five years of imprisonment for eleven years after he was extradited to the Netherlands.

Astrid kept in touch with her brother and later began studying law, including a summer at the University of Cambridge.

Wim's connections with the criminal underworld meant that she never had a shortage of customers.

& # 39; The name Holleeder has opened doors because my brother was so well pursued by other criminals & # 39 ;, she said.

She said that the couple was also connected and had survived an abusive childhood in the hands of their alcoholic father.

In & # 39; Judas & # 39; Astrid describes a gruesome incident in which her father bullyed her to eat more than she could handle and when she was sick she forced her to eat her own vomit.

Wim and I shared a lot and we were close. I knew how he was and what he was dealing with as a criminal lawyer, but also as his sister. We have shared many secrets.

& # 39; There were people who wanted him dead and the police wanted him. I was always on the edge around him. He did not scare me, but I always knew what he was capable of. & # 39;

After Wim (left) was imprisoned for the abduction, he built up his criminal empire and was in and out of prison for extortion and money laundering. But when he was released in 2012, he became famous, often with celebrities

Before she started taking up her brother in 2013, Astrid discussed the implications with her daughter Miljuschka, who completely fell behind. & # 39; She told me I should do the right thing & # 39;

While he was building his criminal empire, Wim was in and out of extortion and money laundering, but when he was released in 2012, he became famous and often posed with celebrities.

Before starting secret records in the following years, Astrid discussed the implications with her daughter.

It is when I talk about Miljuschka and her two grandchildren of six and eight that Astrid raises her eyes and has to pause to wipe away the tears.

& # 39; My daughter was fully supportive. She told me that I should do the right thing, & # 39; she said. & # 39; But it meant that I could not walk in the street with her arm in arm like others.

& # 39; She is known in the Netherlands and in a way that makes it less likely that something happens to her. Miljuschka, who becomes famous, makes her less of a target. & # 39;

In 2014, when Wim was awaiting an execution of rivals in the bendeland, news emerged that hundreds of hours of recordings had been handed over to the police and that Astrid would prove the prosecution.

Wim was so furious that he reportedly asked two members of a street gang called No Limit Soldiers to get rid of his brother, but this has been refused by him.

The Dutch authorities felt different and Astrid was placed in a witness protection program, while Wim was accused of assassination.

It is expected that the Wim process will last until next year and Astrid is determined to appear in court when the verdict is returned. "By taking him in and working with the authorities, I hoped to stop him. All in all it was never about revenge but about justice & # 39;

His trial is expected to last next year and Astrid is determined to appear in court when the verdict is returned.

What shocked me was the way he could talk about someone's life and not really think about it, & # 39; she said.

"By taking him in and working with the authorities, I hoped to stop him. All this time it was never about revenge but about justice.
