Police release photos of criminals wanted in assassination investigations

The police released new photos of Ridouan Taghi and Said Razzouki. Key witness Nabil B. named Taghi as the person who ordered several assassinations and attempts thereto in the Netherlands. Razzouki is a known accomplice of Taghi, according to newspaper AD.

Investigators believe that Taghi at least is abroad and he was also placed on international wanted lists.

The police also released multiple other photos, asking for anyone with information about them to come forward. This includes what seems to be holiday photos, and a picture taken inside an airplane. According to the police, the photo on the plane was likely taken at 8:57 p.m. on January 18th this year. Investigators want to make contact with anyone who may know what airline or flight this was.

There are also photos of graffiti on sisha lounge Platinum Lounge in Utrecht. The words "Los Pepes War" were spray painted on building's facade. The police would like to know more about this. According to AD, this now-closed sisha lounged played a large role in the Utrecht underworld. "Well informed sources" told the newspaper that the sisha lounge was in the hands of leaders in the criminal world and was used for money laundering and recruitment.
