In March 2018, Ridouan Taghi was placed on the international wanted list by the Dutch Public Prosecution Service. A selfie that Taghi had taken was also published.
A tip was then reported to the investigation team that the photo had been taken in an apartment on Avenue Louise. Ultimately, the precise home could be located, it writes Algemeen Dagblad.
Rent
The apartment turned out to be rented by Khalid D., a suspect in the extensive Dunbar trial that is currently underway in the Netherlands and which is related to the Marengo liquidation trial in which Taghi, among others, was convicted at the end of February.
Khalid D. paid the monthly rent of 4,300 euros in cash in advance for seven months, as well as the deposit of 25,800 euros. In this way, D. Taghi would have helped to go into hiding from justice, says the Dutch public prosecutor. That is why the Public Prosecution Service demands a four-year prison sentence for D.
Taghi himself was sentenced to life imprisonment by the Amsterdam court at the end of February in the Marengo trial, which lasted six years. A ruling that Taghi will appeal against, he announced through his lawyer.
