Dutch term or phrase: borrelpraatcircuit
I'm not quite sure about this term and I'd rather not guess. The text is about a few shady individuals. One of them is in the "borrelpraatcircuit". The sentence in Dutch is: "Hij zit in het Amsterdams borrelpraatcircuit."

Thanks in advance!

Explanation:
I would translate said text as 'He is a member of the Amsterdam drinking circle'. Friends are probably implied as they come together for chatting over drinks.
