The G-Force was a nightclub in [Amsterdam](/places/amsterdam/) frequented by [Marc Dutroux](/people/marc-dutroux/) and [Robbie Van Der Plancken](/people/robbie-van-der-plancken/), according to a dossier compiled by the [Morkhoven Workgroup](/organizations/morkhoven-workgroup/). The club was owned by an American identified as John Edward Mullaney. Mullaney could be linked to [John Stamford](/people/john-stamford/)'s [Spartacus Network](/organizations/spartacus-network/) through a company called Korper and Korver, as well as to [Karel Maasdam](/people/karel-maasdam/) through another company called Adonis. The bar at the G-Force was operated by an individual named Gerda Lamere.[^1]

According to witness Robert Jan Warmerdam, who frequented the small sadomasochist scene in [Amsterdam](/places/amsterdam/) for about 15 years, [Dutroux](/people/marc-dutroux/) had meetings at the G-Force on regular dates with a certain Nordholt, who was an official in the Amsterdam police, as well as with a certain Peter De Groot, who worked in a clinical laboratory. Warmerdam claimed he had often been at table with them and that [Dutroux](/people/marc-dutroux/) had said he expected problems and was going to go to prison for a short time. Warmerdam also stated he met [Robbie Van Der Plancken](/people/robbie-van-der-plancken/) at the G-Force and later in [Rotterdam, Netherlands](/places/rotterdam/). The dossier linking [Dutroux](/people/marc-dutroux/) to the G-Force and Amsterdam child trafficking networks was compiled by [Marcel Vervloesem](/people/marcel-vervloesem/) for prosecutor [Michel Bourlet](/people/michel-bourlet/) and formed the basis for a series of 2004 media reports.[^1]
