Death[]
In 2000, van Leuven had allegedly obtained photographic evidence that the mayor of Rotterdam at the time, Ivo Opstelten, had sex with a prostitute - it's believed that this photograph was actually faked. Nevertheless, it would have heavily damaged Opstelten's reputation. Rutgert planned to auction off these photographs to Michael Marshall, a reporter for one of Rotterdam's leading tabloid newspapers at the time. Initially, Opstelten had contracted private investigator, Klaas Teller, to retrieve the photographs, and save his reputation, with the photos being held in a safe inside the Flaming Windmills' private compound. However, Teller was captured by the gang, who then chained him up in the basement of the compound and subjected to electroshock torture. The people around Opstelten then contracted Agent 47 to infiltrating the gang's compound, assassinated both van Leuven and Teller (who became a liability), and retrieve the photographs. 47 infilitrated the compound, assassinated both van Leuven and Teller, and retrieved the photographs.
