Imprisonment demanded for Dutch nationals arrested during international action

It has not been shown that these suspects are involved in the narcotic drug trafficking of the Italian 'Ndrangheta. But they were themselves producing and selling synthetic drugs. If it is up to the Public Prosecutor of the National Public Prosecutor's Office, they go to jail for up to 6 years. Tuesday morning the court in Zwolle dealt with the cases against the first three suspects. The other two cases will be dealt with on Tuesday afternoon.
"Ndrangheta"
The five men, between 28 and 58 years old and from Velsen, Amsterdam, Zoetermeer and Germany, were arrested in December during an investigation by a Joint Investigation Team (JIT) from the Netherlands, Germany and Italy. The JIT conducted research into the international trade in cocaine, and the associated money laundering practices, of the Mafia-like organization 'Ndrangheta. Observation of Italian suspects living in the Netherlands led to the five Dutchmen and two working production laboratories of synthetic drugs in Amsterdam and Velsen.
