In 1956, 14K took the lead in making a big news in Hong Kong, a riot that lasted for five days.
14K clashed with hong Kong administrators at the time through a hot-button incident. Of course, as a gangster, no matter what the trigger, it quickly evolved into a smashing and burning underworld activity. Under the leadership of 14K, the ancient puzzle boys of Anle, Katsuwa, and Katsuyoshi began to fish in muddy waters. Hit people everywhere, smash things, loot vehicles, shops, factories, schools, etc.
The storm killed more than 60 people and was the deadliest riot in Hong Kong's history.
After this, the British government of Hong Kong urgently set up an anti-black investigation team, and the result was that a large number of 14K members, including the son of the founder Ge Zhaohuang and Ge Zhixiong, who was known as the prince of the Jianghu people, were escorted out of the country by the British government of Hong Kong, and after this incident, the power of 14K was greatly reduced. But detainees can choose which country they are held in. Most of them chose to be imprisoned in the Netherlands.
This also laid the groundwork for the growth of 14K forces in the Netherlands.
Similarly, the choice of the Netherlands as a place of detention by 14K members is not arbitrary, and there are long-term interests behind it.
The Netherlands, as the golden triangle of Europe, and the government's crackdown on drugs is not strong, this feature makes the Netherlands an absolute prime location in the drug trafficking industry. What's more, the Netherlands is geographically close to the heart of Europe, where there are multiple ports for easy access. So at that time, the Netherlands was the transit point for heroin, cocaine throughout Europe.
Most importantly, before 1977, the highest penalty for heroin trafficking in the Netherlands was "four years in prison". Yes, you heard that right. Only four years in prison. Whether you're shipping a backpack or a truckload of drugs, it's capped at four years anyway.
And it is also clearly stipulated in the regulations that the police cannot fish for law enforcement and cannot act as a buyer of drugs to collect evidence.
The reason for this regulation was that a 43-year-old Dutch policeman had been chasing a drug dealer for six years, and the police had paid a lot of manpower and material resources, but the drug dealer could always predict the actions of a large number of police officers and avoid the pursuit in time, so that the 43-year-old policeman recognized the drug dealer at the door of the bar on the way home from work. The policeman immediately changed into a mask and hat in sunglasses, and pretended to be a drug buyer and drug dealer to talk. The drug dealer was finally caught at the agreed place of trade. I thought it was over, but unexpectedly, the drug dealer actually sued the police for fishing and won the case.
So at that time, the Netherlands was naturally a breeding ground for evil, and it was also an excellent foothold for overseas gangsters.
There is also a layer of reason behind it, the prison environment in the Netherlands was one of the best in Europe at that time. The reason for this is that Dutch prisons have been experimenting with a "people-centred, harmonious coexistence" model for many years. Each prisoner had a separate cell and was equipped with a refrigerator, a TV and a private bathroom.
As a result, many people from other countries have been stranded in prison after committing an offence in the Netherlands. Later, the government was not happy, after all, the prison cells were almost out of use, and the Dutch government wanted to send them back to China, but the criminals could leave such a luxurious cell so easily. The gang members sued the Dutch government under their own organization and successfully remained in the Dutch prison. So given the professional characteristics of 14K members, it is not difficult to understand that they chose the Netherlands.
