Two arrested for involvement in De Meern assassination

Two men were arrested on suspicion of involvement in the assassination of 37-year-old Aziz Anzi. He was gunned down while sitting in his car in a parking lot next to the A12 highway on September 19th last year. According to news wire ANP, the suspects are 26- and 30-years-old. Nothing further is known about them. They will be arraigned in Utrecht on Friday. The police also raided a number of addresses in the Netherlands as part of this investigation. It is unclear whether these raids offered anything useful.
