The unique life story of one of the last true Amsterdam penoze ******
Hugo Broers is one of the last faces of the old Amsterdam penoze. Growing up in the Warmoesstraat, in the middle of the Red Light District (de Wallen), and abused by his father on a daily basis, he picked up on the unwritten underworld codes like no other. He befriended famous Dutch criminals, and ‘cleaned up’ the Wallen neighbourhood with his own team. He spent his life fighting, stabbing, and dealing drugs, subsequently spending nearly 14 years in prison.
With nicknames such as ‘Robin Hood’ and ‘The monster of the Warmoesstraat’, he became world famous in Amsterdam and far beyond.
In the autobiography PENOZE HUGO, Hugo speaks candidly of his disrupted childhood, the world of prostitution and drugs he grew up in, famous criminals, the millions he earned and lost again, as well as the wisdom he gained through the years.
A must-read for True Crime fans!
‘Hugo is a crook with a heart of gold.’
Thea Moear, the Godmother
‘Hugo is simply great, a real, honest Amsterdammer.’
Bert Kops, wrestling champion
HUGO BROERS was born and raised in the Red Light District, between rowdy bars and hookers. He helped out his father, a flea market trader on the Waterlooplein, ran errands for prostitutes and slowly but surely fell into a life of crime. Today he spends his time working out and showing fans the Red Light District.
