Capture of a Dutch Crimelord
Episode 6
Friday, 26 June, 2020

After years on the run, even using fake identities, the most wanted criminal in the Netherlands was finally tracked down to a luxury villa in a wealthy neighourhood in Dubai in December of 2019. His name is Ridouan Taghi (forgive me if I don't pronounce it correctly, it's actually not a Dutch name, he has joing Moroccan and Dutch nationality). His reign of terror spanned almost a decade and included accusations of multiple murders, grievous bodily harm and leading a drug syndicate and criminal gang called "The Angels of Death". He was so elusive that he had never been convicted of a major crime. In fact, the authorities were long unsure of where he was.
