March 15, 2024

The court in Amsterdam imposed 26 years in prison on Friday on 30-year-old Anouar Taghi for, among other things, preparing the murder of lawyer Derk Wiersum. The court considers it proven that Ridouan Taghi's cousin was the leader of a criminal organization that was involved in the preparation of murder, stealing cars and attempted serious assault.

The sentences of the eight co-defendants in this case range from seven years to 208 days. The court imposed three years in prison and eleven months on Krystian M. , against whom the Public Prosecution Service demanded a life sentence in January for the murder of crime journalist Peter R. de Vries.
