De Vries was shot dead in Amsterdam in July 2021 , sparking outpouring of grief and concern over the influence of organized crime in the Netherlands .

The 39-year-old man was detained on Monday in Willemstad on Curacao , the Dutch Public Prosecution Service says.

He is suspected of playing a leading role in a criminal organisation that aimed to commit violence, prosecutors say.

A Dutch court last year handed down lengthy jail sentences to three men for the murder.
