'Auntie' earned millions in coke, now every trace of her been missing for five years: 'We're screwed'

[Pieshaman]

As a woman in her mid-40s, Naïma 'Aunt' Jillal catapulted herself to the top of the Dutch cocaine trade. A unique position. She bought Rolexes galore and stayed in very expensive apartments. Until she disappeared without a trace in 2019, exactly five years ago. The 'godmother of coke' played a life-threatening game with crime leaders such as Piet Costa, Ridouan Taghi and Bolle Jos in a supporting role. "We're screwed aunt. Those guys slaughtered us."

She's in a hurry. A lot of haste. Naïma Jillal hardly has time to take a good look at the surroundings. Here, around the corner from the luxury marina Puerto Banus in Marbella, the sun almost always shines. She's been coming here for years. In Estepona, a little further down the road, she has had two similar luxurious apartments. But this place, Urbanización Malibu, is also beautiful. From here she has a view of the sea, and when the sky is clear blue, she can even see Morocco in the distance. But she now has no eye for all the splendor of her home, which costs 5000 euros a month. Naïma has to go. As soon as possible.

Her rental car is loaded with as many things as possible, mainly luxury designer clothes and of course her very expensive watches. Because one thing is certain: she will not return to Urbanización Malibu. She leaves her home with an unpaid utility bill of 8000 euros, and the rent of the apartment is also no longer affordable. The money has run out. And so she has to go back to the Netherlands. But the problems are not over in the Netherlands either.

She is sometimes called Madame Coke. Anyone who meets her on the street would not immediately attribute a leading role in the international cocaine trade. And yet, until her disappearance in October 2019, Naïma Jillal was an important player in this special and dangerous world. She worked with the absolute leaders in cocaine smuggling, made millions and just as easily spent it on her very luxurious lifestyle.

For more than 24 hours, Naïma sits in the car, from southern Spain, across France and Belgium, on her way to Amsterdam-Zuid. It's a tough ride, because Naima is still recovering from abdominal surgery. The fact that she decides to go anyway says a lot about how much of a hurry she has. Once back in the capital, she drives to Gustav Mahlerlaan, where she rents a capital penthouse. She doesn't have time to recover from the tough journey. On Sunday evening, October 20, she immediately has an appointment with business partners, and gets into a dark Volkswagen Polo near her home. It is her last sign of life. Since then, there has been no trace.

'Godmother of coke' Naïma Jillal was born in 1967, in the northernmost tip of Morocco, in a village near the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. At a young age, the family moved to the Netherlands, where she grew up in Utrecht. She turns out to be a smart lady and studies at both the University of Applied Sciences in Utrecht and Amsterdam. Jillal marries a journalist at a young age, has a son and eventually settles in a single-family house in a quiet neighborhood in Nieuwegein

Jillal works as a financial director, with her smooth talk she first sells insurance, later investments. This is how she convinces people to invest in real estate in America. Around 2010, the housing market there was at a standstill after the credit crisis, villas were for sale for next to nothing. Acquaintances from that time describe Jillal as a charming woman. She is always well dressed, has a sense of humor and is intelligent. "She had a beautiful smile and was very amicable, immediately your best friend. She used to win people over," said one of them.

Her story sounds wonderful, but the reality is a lot less pretty. Jillal leaves a financial trail of destruction in her wake, according to people who know her from that period. The suspicion is that she is pocketing money, people feel ripped off. "I heard that I could join the back of the queue of creditors. Half of Utrecht still received money from her," says one of her victims. Jillal is also charged with insurance fraud and forgery.

During that period, Jillal also mediates in renting homes for dubious clients. At the beginning of 2014, the police discovered a hemp plantation of 344 plants in a building in which they were involved, a few months later it was hit again in another house. The police also came to her in this way, and during the interrogations she says that she has 'a lot of debts' and borrowed money from various people. Her home was on the verge of being auctioned off several times, according to local residents.

Underworld :

Jillal eventually comes into contact with Mustapha F. and rolls into the underworld through him. The coke dealer from Amersfoort, nicknamed 'Moes', is best known to the general public for his conflict with Ridouan Taghi. F. escaped liquidation several times, the last time in November 2017. Two gunmen open fire on the terrace of his coffee shop in Marrakech, but mistakenly shoot dead the son of a Moroccan chief justice.

Through Mustapha F., Jillal also comes into contact with Roger P. The Rotterdammer, better known as 'Piet Costa', is considered one of the absolute leaders in the cocaine trade. He is now also known as the man behind the famous 'torture containers' in Wouwse Plantage, in which they were able to mistreat their victims, tied up in a dentist's chair. Through these contacts, Jillal catapults himself to the highest echelon of the underworld, which is dominated by men. As a woman in her mid-forties, Jillal is a striking appearance. She is also called 'Auntie'.

The triumvirate of Moes, Piet Costa and Tante earns gold money, until their trick with corrupt customs employees falters. This became apparent on 30 June 2016 when a container arrived in the port of Rotterdam with – hidden among a load of pineapple – 4252 kilos of cocaine. The party has a street value of 200 million euros. The panic is therefore enormous when the driver is not allowed to take the container in question because of a 'blockade' by customs.

"How is this possible? What kind of blockade?' writes Jillal in an encrypted message to Mustapha F. He soon realizes that control awaits: "Misery from here to Tokyo," he replies to Jillal. 'Those bins are both in front of the scan. And we're the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ auntie. We can't pick them up." He suspects that their business partners had no corrupt contact at customs at all. "Those guys slaughtered us," he writes. 'This round, the judiciary is happy. And Costa is ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up," he says, referring to their joint partner Piet Costa.

Crisis consultation:

In the messages that go back and forth, it is about the millions it costs them and that they have to 'justify it to people'. The three meet in Rotterdam for crisis consultations and suspect that their transport has been 'tipped off' to the authorities. That theory is still discussed the next day. Finally, Jilla types to Piet Costa: 'Ok, let it go for a moment... We're just going to set up a new story.' To which Costa replies, "Right."

Jillal, now divorced from her husband, is now financing a life of luxury with her cocaine millions. She undergoes surgery on her stomach and loses a lot of weight. In 2017 and 2018, she rented two apartments in Utrecht, right next to the Galgenwaard football stadium. In Rotterdam, she also has an expensive accommodation in a residential tower along the Maas. In the meantime, she regularly flies to her place in Marbella.

Tens of thousands of euros spent:

It is located around the corner from Puerto Banus, the most expensive marina in Europe. It is a haven for the very rich who can shop around the port at exclusive brands such as Rolex, Louis Vuitton and Valentino. Jillal spends a fortune on clothing and jewelry, says an acquaintance of hers: "Around Puerto Banus it is not cheap shopping, then tens of thousands of euros were spent in an afternoon."

In Amsterdam, she knocks on the door of jewellers, according to a money laundering investigation. At Gassan Diamonds alone, she buys half a million worth of jewellery in just over a year: bracelets, tie clips, but above all a whole load of watches. Rolex preferred. Not only for themselves, but also for friends. "Can you please order it for my buddy. Then he has all 3, please do your best', she sends a message to the seller in 2018. It's about a Rolex Daytona Rainbow, a rose gold-encrusted watch that costs between 3 and 5 tons new.

Problems:

But all that luxury seems to be no more than the golden veneer of a life that is showing more and more cracks. At the end of 2017, the first information about her role in serious crime came in via criminal informants: 'The Moroccan Naima, who comes from Utrecht, has been working in the cocaine trade for years. Naima has the contacts to set up lines for the large-scale import of cocaine," it said in a message on November 29, 2017. Around the same time, Mustapha F. was arrested in Morocco for drug trafficking. In doing so, she loses her most important partner in crime. In the meantime, when the police intercepted several transports, with all the financial consequences that entailed, they fell out with Piet Costa in 2019. Suddenly, 'Auntie' is largely on her own.

Pyramid scheme:

She may have lost her criminal clout, but she still has her smooth talk. In doing so, it convinces criminals to invest in its transports. But if they also fail, Jillal will have all kinds of criminal creditors after him. "She was playing a pyramid scheme," says one of the people who owed her a fortune. "She took the money from one and gave it to the other. One hole was filled with another." And so she is hunted down. In 2018, she escaped kidnapping, a business acquaintance later said in an interview with the police. "Her mother had a camera installed in a tree. She told me that herself," the man said. "Children from the neighborhood found out. The camera didn't belong to the police, but to a club that tried to kidnap her for money, I thought."

Tortured:

More than a year later, things still go horribly wrong. It is not clear why she rushed to the Netherlands by car in October 2019. It seems that one of the parties who was still owed money from her has summoned her. The last sign of life is the camera images that show her getting into a black Volkswagen Polo at 9.30 p.m. on the Zuidas. A month later, the police arrested three suspects: two men and a woman. The trio, together with a cousin of Jillal, who was threatened with a firearm, visited the apartment on Gustav Mahlerlaan. All kinds of items would have been taken from the house, personal belongings were dumped in a waste bin around the corner. That happened just after Jillal's disappearance, the three seem to have nothing to do with the disappearance itself. Above all, it outlines that not one, but at least two groups hunted her.

Pictures of her:

Soon the story goes in the underworld that Jillal didn't just take a few hits. She was allegedly horribly tortured. And there would be pictures of it in circulation. The police also found it on a phone that was found in the villa in Dubai where Ridouan Taghi was arrested. One photo shows a woman tied naked to a chair. Another photo shows the close-up of an amputated finger on her lap. Police suspect the victim is Naïma Jillal, the photos were taken on the night of her disappearance.

In February 2021, for the first time, the police also linked the name of a criminal ringleader to the disappearance: Jos Leijdekkers, alias 'Bolle Jos'. It is not clear exactly what that suspicion is based on. But a Belgian study has revealed a clue. Through an encrypted phone, Bolle Jos asks a Belgian accomplice where the Volkswagen Polo has gone. He sends this message six months after Naïma Jillal disappeared when she got into a – yes – Volkswagen Polo on Amsterdam's Zuidas. The accomplice responds: 'Sawn into pieces and thrown into the scrap metal as you asked six months ago.'

At the beginning of 2021, the investigation into Jillal's disappearance also led to a warehouse in Antwerp. The investigative services seem to be convinced that Naïma Jillal was tortured and killed at that spot. The address is not unknown to the investigative service. In the same warehouse, a consignment of no less than 4200 kilos of cocaine was previously found under a load of frozen squid. The architect of that party? Bolle Jos.

Trail is a dead end:

The Belgian police leave nothing to chance during the search. The concrete floorboards – which, remarkably enough, seem to have just been replaced – are removed one by one. Subsequently, the soil is meticulously examined, including the use of a ground-penetrating radar and sniffer dogs. "I've never heard dogs go on such a rampage as they did in that warehouse in Antwerp," says a police source. "We were convinced she was there."
But it's not there.
Out of the ground come women's shoes and a handbag. But that trail also comes to a dead end. There are no DNA traces of the Utrecht woman on the objects and she does not recognize her family. Five years after her disappearance, the investigation into Naïma's disappearance has become one of the most high-profile in the Netherlands. A case that the investigative services are still hopeful can be solved.

Some person in the drug world got whacked.

so she turned 20 in about 2000, 2001. roughly the time the cocaine trades were restarting without US control.

I heard those restarts were predominantly due to scandanavian influence, and that most of the people involved are cutouts.

that would make this post potentially a form of attempting to legitmize this cutout for political reasons. the sort of thing the 'no politics' rule was meant to ban, but increasingly wasn't effective at doing so.

anyway, her age and the time she appeared makes me assume she was a cutout or a plant and is simply retired. or dead. or both.

I have seen the pictures of her dead body. I'm certain she not alive if you have any doubts about that.

so let's say that you have 'friendly man Nick' who sells you shoes.

but wait, Nick is going to a different home every night. every day his car is different. he looks the same, but it's as if he keeps growing and shrinking an inch. sometimes his shoes have padding in the front, sometimes they don't.

could nick be different people?

could nick be...a cutout?

like a cardboard cutout you make of someone, and that someone else holds up in front of themselves when they talk to you.

the Nicks might not even know; they could have each been independently hired to work one day out of the week, for some reason, by the person who owns the shoe store. maybe one of them smuggles drugs for the store owner, and the rest are just cover. who knows!

If she earned millions in coke, and not made millions *from* coke, then I think we can assume she died from...cocaine overdose.

Sigmund Freud and Lil Wayne couldn't mop it up themselves, and they're professionals.

Oh...Arnold Schwarzenegger. Apparently there was a party in the 70s or 80s that Hollywood went to, and every table was a glass table, and it had everyone's names written on it, with the drug

Arnold turned to Danny Devito and said "oh my God my name is so long!"
