Large security presence at Amsterdam courthouse for major organized crime trial verdict
There was a large contingent of security personnel in and around the highly-secured courthouse in Amsterdam-Osdorp a few hours before judges were set to read their verdict in the extensive Marengo criminal procedure on Tuesday morning. The court has heard arguments for six years in the extensive organized crime case regarding a series of assassinations, failed murder attempts, and plots to commit more killings. There are 17 suspects in total, including the prime suspect, 46-year-old Ridouan Taghi.
