“Criminals threaten the boss to be in Brabant ‘, mayor expressed … – BBC News

  GILZE AND ROWS – Organised crime is likely to be the boss in some places in the Netherlands. The Brabant mayors John Boelhouwer Gilze and Rijen and Jan Hamming Heusden maps the problem yet again on Saturday morning in the Volkskrant. “The public administration should remain the boss in our communities,” said Boelhouwer. “If that will be placed at risk, and that threatens, that really threatens, we can pack up.”
 

According to the two directors have mayors in our province to contend with increasingly subversive crime. That was apparent earlier research from the NIS and Omroep Brabant.

Help from the upper world
Criminals from the drug scene and trafficking the shots in neighborhoods and infiltrate – often through stromannen- public authority. “Given the scale of the drug crime must have help from the upper world,” said Mayor Hamming in the Volkskrant. “We see that there are lines running, we can usually not hard. But we arm ourselves. And we watch for integrity in politics.”

According Boelhouwer and Hamming mayors threatened systematically. Bullying creates fear among Brabant politicians and officials. “I see how people are sometimes afraid. There are officials who say to me: okay, Jan, I have a thing told, but I do not want you to take further. Later did you get out of this town. I do not know what happens here, “explains Hamming.

Doubts
Boelhouwer says sometimes serious doubts as to statements made by colleagues. Especially when they say that they do not know marijuana farms in their municipality and no intimidation. “How can that be? Here we roll every two weeks, three weed nurseries on. Do I believe … oh, come on anyway.”

The mayors say that we now have to fight and to win. “Otherwise, we end up in a country where the ordinary authority is no longer the boss, but where the criminal cash acquired is the dominant factor.”

Special Working Group
Other Brabant mayors showed recently that security in Brabant municipalities ‘under pressure’ state. Therefore, recently launched a working group of mayors. It is also not the first time that Hamming and Boelhouwer pull the bell. Hamming long been calling for additional manpower in the fight against drug crime.
