Rotterdam's courts have seized $112 million in illegal assets from notorious European drug lord, Jos Leijdekkers, thought to be hiding out in Sierra Leone. The courts left out unproven claims for luxury goods and reduced an initial $250 million requested by prosecutors.

Last month, Dutch authorities were convinced that Leijdekkers was hiding in Sierra Leone, and the BBC reported that Dutch prosecutor Wim de Bruin stated that the fugitive's return to the Netherlands was a top priority. This comes as images have emerged of Leijdekkers posing with Sierra Leone President Julius Maada Bio and his daughter, causing further speculation that he is using his wealth and connections to avoid justice. Exiled Sierra Leone opposition figure Mohamed Mansaray has accused the president's inner circle of offering refuge to the drug lord and hinted at connections to the disappearance of Naima Jillal in 2019.

This remains a developing story.
