ANP Security at the extra-secure Court for the Marengo criminal proceedings
NOS Nieuws•vandaag, 10:37
The key witness in the Marengo trial, Nabil B., appears to have discussed the kidnapping and torture of other criminals when he made a deal with the Prosecutor’s Office. This can be concluded from the new information in the hands of the CEO and One today.
This information was obtained from encrypted messages that B. sent from prison via a smuggled phone. These were added to the criminal file last week. When she sent the messages, B. negotiated to take on the role of key witness.
Nabil B. is held responsible for involvement in two murders and three assassination plots. At the beginning of 2017, Hakim Changachi, a member of a notorious crime family, was liquidated in Utrecht. It soon became clear that the murder had been a mistake: someone else should have been the victim.
The Changachi family found out that B. had something to do with that murder and confronted him on the street. It was too hot under B.’s feet, after which he went to the police. There he was offered a reduced sentence in exchange for crucial information about the case: B. became a key witness.
Phone smuggled in
Once in prison he had a PGP phone smuggled in with which he could communicate encrypted with his former criminal friends. During the trial he kept quiet about what had happened, but later admitted it during interrogation.
Now that the messages have been deciphered by the NFI, it appears that B. communicated with Saïd R., the right-hand man of Ridouan Taghi, the main suspect in the Marengo trial. R.’s brother barely survived an assassination attempt that month.
“Have you made any progress, brother, with your research?”, Nabil B. asked Saïd R. over the PGP phone. “Do you agree with me that the focus is on those whore sons of the Changachi?”, referring to members of the crime family who, according to B., had become “bloodthirsty”.
“Better to accuse and torture people”
R. says he is busy finding out who tried to kill his brother. “Let’s not rule out where it might have come from. I need at least some proof before I start anything.”
“Then it will be difficult, brother”, B. then replies. “Then I hope, inshallah (God willing, ed.) that you will get results quickly. Because this is stress, better than burdening and torturing people”.
R. wants revenge: “I will make sure I know who is behind the deed and I will cleanse the entire KK family of him.” To which B. responds again with: “Inshallah brother! Inshallah!!”
These messages were sent when B. had signed a provisional agreement with the Prosecutor’s Office. Seven days later he would have concluded the definitive agreement that would have officially made him a key witness.
B.’s lawyer doesn’t want to answer.
Who’s who in the vast Marengo trial? Watch it in this special.
The Marengo trial against seventeen suspects, suspected of involvement in various liquidations and murder plans, has been ongoing since 2018. A life sentence was sought against Ridouan Taghi, 46, and five other people.
Taghi’s lawyers decided to abandon the defense last month, just six months after starting their work. They felt, among other things, that they had not had enough time to investigate the matter further after having taken over the case from the lawyer Inez Weski
Taghi has made it known that he does not want new lawyers and the court has decided that the hearings will not be postponed. The criminal case will be closed on February 14. The sentence will be announced on February 27.
