[1] An unruly youth who idolized Sonny Barger and the Hells Angels, he founded in 1973 a biker gang named the Kreidler Ploeg East.
[1] Boxtel ended his rampage by going across the street to beat the owner of a snack bar and smashed his head so severely that he was hospitalized.
[2] The city also agreed to give Boxtel 21,300 guilders annually (the equivalent to $12,772 US dollars in 2006) to hold charity events and teach young people about motorcycle riding.
[3] Boxtel told the Dutch media at the time: "We live by our laws; one of them being that apart from our girlfriends, girls are only permitted in the Angel Place for sex".
[3] Boxtel's statement which was widely seen as approval of the gang-rape led to demands from feminist groups that the city close the Angel Place.
[4] Boxtel was also active abroad, playing key roles in opening new Hells Angels chapters in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Finland.
[4] The Canadian journalists Julian Sher and William Marsden wrote that Boxtel created "one of the most powerful underworld organizations in Europe".
[9] By the year 2000, Boxtel had formed connections with organized crime groups in Italy, Belgium, Colombia, Nigeria, Serbia, Bosnia, Russia, Hungary, Spain, Turkey, China and Japan.
[9] On 10 October 2000, a Hells Angels "prospect", Sam Klepper, was shot dead execution style on the streets of Amsterdam.
[12] On 6 February 2002, a Dutch underworld figure, John Mieremet, was badly wounded when he was shot in the stomach during a failed murder attempt.
[17] Besides for Stoeltie, the most important member of t Setje was Paul "The Butcher" de Vries, the president of the elite Nomad chapter based in Limburg.
[9] On 10 February 2004, a Hells Angel, Peter Schumans, was alleged by the police to have asked Boxtel for permission to kill de Vries before the Colombians did.
[15] On 11 February 2004, de Vries, his bodyguard Cor Pijnenburg and his friend Serge "Moon" Wagener attended a Hells Angels meeting in the village of Oirsbeek where they were all lined up against a wall and shot.
[18] The bodies of de Vries, Pijnenburg and Wagner were buried in shallow graves near the Juliana channel in order that they be discovered and to let the Colombians know that the Hells Angels could be trusted to deal with their own.
[19] At the trial of the killers in June 2004, a drug dealer, Angelo Diaz, testified that Boxtel had ordered the murders of de Vries, Pijnenburg and Wagner.
[16] The Dutch police arrested Boxtel who admitted that Enstra had hired him to "punish" Holleeder, but he denied any intention to kill him.
[22] The reason given in an unusual press conference was that Boxtel had been alleged to have confessed that he had accepted money from Enstra to kill Holleeder, which led for him being expelled.
