Lawyer: Alleged crime boss Taghi did not plot attack on Princess Amalia, PM Rutte

NL Times  

The Public Prosecution Service must correct false information about alleged crime boss Ridouan Taghi, his lawyer Inez Weski said on Monday in the high-security court in Amsterdam Osdorp, where she resumed her plea in the Marengo trial. Speaking on behalf of Taghi, Weski called this allegation “false, unsubstantiated information.” The lawyer called on the OM to clearly state which information was correct and which was not. “The OM has a duty to show that it still has some concern for the process and its fairness.” De Telegraaf also reported on Saturday that Taghi and Mohammed B., the man who murdered Theo van Gogh, write each other letters. “The client expressly wishes that.” In a short response, the public prosecutor said that Taghi’s correspondence can be made public, “but that does not offer a 100 percent guarantee that no veiled messages were passed on.” She also said that questions about media publications “have no place in this criminal trial.” Taghi is the main suspect in the Marengo Trial, which revolves around six murders and multiple attempted murders.
