Dutch media reports that the drug lord appealled the decision after the Dutch Public Prosecution Service originally sought to put him away in prison for nine years.

The appeal resulted in his acquittal of the “actual importation” of the drugs in question.

Kok, however, was found guilty of preparing for the import of 400 kilos of cocaine, alongside the possession of cocaine, as well as preparing a drug lab.

Known commonly “The Thinker”, he was arrested in Lebanon in 2022 with his son-in-law, where he stayed for a year.

The convicted kingpin has previously been labelled “boss of the cocaine world” and is known for having a “long history” in the criminal underworld.

The 400-kilo consignment of cocaine for which Kok was convicted had arrived in 2020 via the port of Antwerp in a consignment of bananas.

However, the shipment was somehow mislaid and was eventually found at a supermarket in Remscheid, Germany.

The convicted drug trafficker and gun runner had struck up a close working relationship with Christy Kinahan Snr when they were both based in Amsterdam in the 1990s.
