Court handles Taghi's requests behind closed doors
The court is handling a number of requests by Ridouan Taghi behind closed doors. This means that apart from the litigants - the court, prosecutors, his lawyer and security - no one is allowed to be present in the courtroom and hear what it is about.

Taghi's lawyer Inez Weski had asked for the doors to be closed in making her requests. The privacy of her client is the reason for this, according to the counsel. The 42-year-old Taghi is the main suspect in the large liquidation process Marengo. The Public Prosecution Service has unsuccessfully opposed the closing of the doors.

Weski's requests are related to his transfer, but she made no further explanation. From Tuesday, an interim session will take place in the extra secure courtroom at Schiphol. Taghi is not present in person. He also did not appear in court at previous hearings this year.
