Suspected jihadist Azzedine C., better known as Abou Moussa, wants PvdA parliamentarian Ahmed Marcouch to be questioned, his lawyer, André Seebregts said during a hearing in Amsterdam on Tuesday. According to Seebregts, a witness said that Marcouch told him that a major investigation has been ongoing for a year and that C. would be arrested, AD reports. This happened a month before C. was arrested. Seebregts therefore wants to know how Marcouch came to know about this investigation.

According to Seebregts, Marcouch previously expressed negative views on suspected jihadists. Seebregts also stated that the same witness that told him about Marcouch also said he sensed an anti-Islam sentiment from the reporting officers. The lawyer is referring to a critical blog by National Police Chef Gerard Bouman, in which he expresses his concern about the negative attitude some police officers have towards Muslims.

He is accused of sedition and recruitment for the jihad. It was announced on Tuesday that the charges of defamation and incitement to hatred against Jews have been added against him.
