The court in Amsterdam has set a new date for the ruling in the Marengo case. She will deliver judgment for all suspects on Tuesday, February 27, 2024.

Hearings in the Marengo case will take place again in October in the extra-secure court, De Bunker, in Amsterdam. A pro forma hearing will take place on October 6 for all suspects.

17 people are on trial in the case, on suspicion of participation in a criminal organization and of involvement in 6 murders, 4 attempted murders and of preparing assassinations. Ridouan Taghi and Said Razzouki are suspected of leading the organization.

The latest news in the case was that the key witness in the Marengo trial, Nabil B., has a lawyer again. Onno de Jong again registered as his counselor.

Ridouan Taghi was also left without a lawyer after the resignation of Inez Weski, suspected of membership of a criminal organization. Arthur van der Biezen, Michael Ruperti and Sjoerd van Berge Henegouwen presented themselves as the new lawyers. They previously did not participate in the Marengo trial against Taghi.

But Taghi has announced through his new lawyers that he no longer wishes to participate in the court process. On July 19, the court decided that the three new lawyers will not be given additional time to study the file. They had requested a nine-month extension to do so. Taghi talks about a ' sham trial '.
