Gregory F., who according to De Telegraaf lived alternately in the Netherlands and Suriname, is suspected of international drug trafficking. He would have had close contact with Ridouan Taghi and other suspects in the Marengo liquidation process. During that process, several messages between the suspects and F. were made public, for example about a large arms find in Nieuwegein. When this came to light in 2015, Taghi confirmed to F. that it could be read in the news, according to justice. "Yes it says everywhere sir. Biggest weapon find ever, luckily not all."

Gregory F. was also kept informed of the murder of spyshopman Ronald Bakker. The messages Taghi sent about this have also been added to Marengo's file. Earlier this year, another key contact of Taghi, 37-year-old Gerel Palm, was arrested in connection with that murder. He was in Suriname until 2017, just like Gregory F., where he was already arrested in March of that year. He managed to escape shortly afterwards, but ran into the lamp in Brazil.

AD writes that in 2010 F. was less involved in the research 'Carnelian'. This concerned the murder of 12-year-old Danny Gubbels, who died when shots were fired at his parents' caravan. Gubbels' father is said to have been involved in a conflict about a batch of lost cocaine.

F. may have also played a small role at Danny M's company, Ennetcom. He previously supplied "unhackable" Blackberries. M. was recently sentenced to 4.5 years in prison for leading a criminal organization, money laundering and forgery.
