The Tower in Heeswijk Dinther
Financial crime investigators found huge amounts of cash during a raid of Frits van Eerd’s home in Heeswijk-Dinther, The Netherlands. According to a report in the NL Times on Thursday
when the investigators raided the Jumbo CEO
and various other locations across the Netherlands in September
It was part of a wide scale investigation into money laundering
Jumbo is the co-sponsor of one of the best WorldTour teams in men’s cycling
The company also sponsors a speed skating team
Jumbo CEO’s house raided by police
Van Eerd was not the prime suspect in the investigation but Dutch news outlets have confirmed that his home and business premises were raided and searched by police and other authorities
van Eerd temporarily stepped down as CEO however his lawyer refused to comment on questions from Dutch media
his lawyer did not explain why Van Eerd he obtained the cash
Jumbo Visma’s service course is huge and absolutely amazing
The acting Ton van Veen said in a statement that Jumbo itself was not the investigation. However, KPMG did begin an investigation into Jumbo’s sponsorship contracts in motorsport
“Jumbo has taken note of an investigation that is currently being conducted,” a press release in September from the supermarket chain read. “We understand that the investigation does not focus on Jumbo
questions are being asked to Frits van Eerd in the context of the investigation.”

Investigators from the financial crimes inspectorate FIOD discovered large amounts of cash when they raided Frits van Eerd's home in Heeswijk-Dinther
Authorities descended on the home of the Jumbo CEO
and multiple other locations across the Netherlands
as part of an extensive investigation into money laundering
Hundreds of thousands of euros were found in cash at Van Eerd's home, sources close to the investigation told FD. It was already known that millions of euros were seized as part of the case
however the Public Prosecution Service (OM) has remained tightlipped on the specifics about the location of the cash
Van Eerd's legal team refused to comment on questions from FD
it is not clear why he would have kept the cash in his home
His attorney did not say if Van Eerd told authorities how he obtained the cash during interrogation
Van Eerd is not the primary focus of the investigation, but former motocross athlete Theo E. is
He was sentenced to 18 months in prison after he was twice convicted of money laundering in 2008
One of his companies reportedly provided vehicles to crime figures in Amsterdam
who was linked to case involving alleged crime boss Willem Holleeder
and was once the team leader for the Jumbo TvE MX team
Jumbo already had issues with him dating back to 2014 and refused to back him with over 60,000 euros in sponsorship funding once his past came to light
which included the purchase of a Hummer and trailer
as a go-between to work with motocross riders and sponsorship deals
Jumbo previously stated emphatically that the company was not a target in the investigation. Its supervisory board selected KPMG to independently investigate the supermarket chain's motorsports contracts. The company's law firm said an internal investigation cleared Jumbo of any criminality, FD reported.

The explosion in Aalsmeer happened at around 3am
and caused a fire which also spread to the upstairs flat and a car
The second explosion took place in Heeswijk-Dinther
That blast hit the front wall of the store and damaged nearby shops as well
Twenty people living in apartments above the shops were evacuated but have since been allowed home after experts said the property was safe
Police explosives experts are at the scene on Tuesday morning looking for trace evidence and to try to determine what triggered the blasts
The supermarkets were initially reported to be part of the Polish discount chain Biedronka but a spokesman for the company has told DutchNews.nl that this is not the case and that the group does not operate outside Poland
owner of the Aalsmeer supermarket along with his brother
told broadcaster NOS that he had no idea who would want to damage his business and that he had no connection with the other supermarket which was attacked
Aalsmeer mayor Gido Oude Kotte said the attack had shaken up the neighbourhood
‘We have been faced with a sort of terrorist act this morning,’ he told the broadcaster

The Public Prosecution Service did not give any more reasons as of yet for the raid in his house in Heeswijk-Dinther
The Public Prosecution Service did release a statement that a 58-year-old man from the Drenthe municipality of Aa en Hunze
has been arrested on suspicion of involvement in the laundering of large amounts of money and goods
An additional eight more people were arrested
all from the provinces of Drenthe and Noord-Brabant
and allegedly involved in money laundering
It is not confirmed as of Tuesday whether those arrests are related to the raid on Van Eerd’s house
The supermarket chain Jumbo sponsors a variety of athletes
as well as Formula 1 driver Max Verstappen
A planned opening of a Polish supermarket in the Noord-Brabant town of Schijndel has been postponed for the time being
The municipality decided to ban the opening for now after local residents expressed concerns for their safety
The new store is owned by the same family whose Polish supermarkets elsewhere in the country have been targeted with explosives over the past weeks
Mayor Kees van Rooij of the municipality of Meierijstad
therefore decided to keep the store closed until May
and the owner of the supermarket set to open there
The municipality will look into whether an earlier opening is feasible
Over the past weeks, explosives were detonated at five Polish supermarkets in the Netherlands, the most recent in Tilburg on January 4
Though they all did extensive property damage
All the targeted stores belong to members of an Iraqi-Kurdish family living in the Netherlands
The family says they don't know why they are being targeted
The police believe that the explosions in Aalsmeer
and Tilburg are linked and are increasingly convinced that a single group of perpetrators is behind it
the police revealed that remains of jerrycans were discovered at multiple of the crime scenes
Investigators believe they are all of the same type - yellow jerrycans that can be bought at Shell gas stations
The police call on anyone who may have noticed someone filling up such a jerrycan at night
or saw someone walking the streets with one during the early morning hours
