According to FBI, Taghi was able to communicate with the outside world thanks to a prison guard.

The American intelligence and security service warned the Dutch authorities in December 2020 that Taghi could communicate unseen with the outside world. At that time he was already in the Extra Secure Institution (EBI) in Vught.

He actually communicated with Raffaele Imperiale, through Taghi's son, according to messages sent with crypto phones from the later hacked SKY Ecc. They would have been still in contact about drug deals.
