Bram Zeegers (15 March 1949, in Amsterdam – 9 October 2007, in Amsterdam) was a Dutch lawyer. Zeegers was a key witness in the 2007 murder and extortion trial of suspected crime boss Willem Holleeder. Holleeder was on trial for the 17 May 2004 murder of Dutch real estate businessman Willem Endstra.[1] Holleeder is also suspected of blackmailing several other businessmen.[1]
Zeegers testified in court over two days that Holleeder and his associates had extorted millions of dollars from Endstra between 2000 and 2004.[1] He also testified about the tense relationship between Holleeder and Endstra before the latter was shot and killed near his offices in Amsterdam on 17 May 2004. Holleeder had maintained that he and Endstra had an amicable relationship.[1]
