Eef Hoos: Difference between revisions

In the 1980s, Hoos became the public face and operational leader of [[Toetanchamon]], a Hague debt-collection office known for intimidation and violence against debtors. The organisation was linked to a series of arson attacks and bombings in and around The Hague in the late 1980s.

After negative coverage in the ''Haagsche Courant'', a car bomb exploded near the publisher Sijthoff Pers. Following the refusal of a permit for a security company connected to Toetanchamon, additional attacks followed, including incidents targeting a police station and a social services office.

During the same period, Hoos promoted a plan to build a large windmill tourist attraction in the harbour area of [[Scheveningen]], described by him as an “eighth wonder of the world”. The plan was blocked by alderman Adri Duivesteijn. In January 1989, an attempt was made to attack Duivesteijn using an explosive device hidden in a table lamp; the device failed to detonate due to a mechanical fault and was defused.
