Editing Martin Hoos (section)

== Career ==
Hoos's first job was as a welder at the Mercedes-Benz assembly plant operated by I.M.A. Malines in [[Mechelen]], [[Belgium]]. He rented accommodation near the factory. The factory dismissed him after a few months because he repeatedly welded together parts that were meant to remain separate. After failing to pay his rent, he fought the Belgian debt collectors who confronted him. He then walked from Mechelen to The Hague in eight days and remained unemployed for several years.

At age 23, Hoos decided to join Toetanchamon. Hendrik then recruited Martin and Angelo into the organization and assigned them to debt collection. During collections, Angelo handled communication and made the decisions, while Martin provided physical intimidation. When debtors continued to refuse payment, Martin assaulted or killed them. Angelo allowed Martin to use lethal violence, while Hendrik paid no attention to the brothers' collection methods. In the 1980s, after [[Eef Hoos]] became Toetanchamon's operational leader,<ref name="eef-hoos-toetanchamon"/> Martin and Angelo served as his bodyguards. Martin also worked as a bodyguard for Themis.
