Bram Zeegers

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. Holleeder is also suspected of blackmailing several other businessmen. The sudden and unexpected death of Zeegers led to speculation that he may have been murdered and received much coverage in the Dutch media.

However, Zeegers was found to have died of an accidental overdose of the drug ecstasy. Three suspects in all were arrested and held in connection with the production of the drug that killed Zeegers.

No connection between Zeegers' death and his testimony in the Willem Holleeder trial has so far been found. Zeegers' death is now widely regarded as an accidental overdose.

The trial resumed on 22 October 2007, after a recess to investigate Zeegers' death.

Legacy In March 2013, Neal Stevens of Subsim introduced the monthly Abraham award on the site, in memory of Zeegers, who had been a member of the site.
