Marengo trial
The Marengo trial (Dutch: Marengo-proces) is a legal proceeding involving high-ranking members of the Mocro Maffia, a Dutch-Moroccan criminal organisation. The trial centers on seventeen defendants accused of participating in five murders and four attempted murders.
On 27 February 2024, the trial concluded after six years of proceedings. Among the seventeen individuals prosecuted, three were sentenced to life imprisonment, including Ridouan Taghi and Saïd Razzouki, who were convicted for their roles in ten murders. In April 2024, the appeal began.
The trial has been described as the "most sick and poisoned ever". A brother, a lawyer (Derk Wiersum) and a confidant (Peter R. de Vries) of the crown witness were killed in retaliation. Three lawyers of Taghi were arrested for conveying messages to his criminal organisation.
Between 2015 and 2017 five murders and four attempted murders took place that the police and Public Prosecution Service (OM) believed were linked to the criminal organization run by Ridouan Taghi, beginning the Marengo trial against all those suspected of involvement. All the murders followed a pattern, the victims having posed a threat to Taghi's organization which was involved in trafficking and dealing in cocaine and other drugs.
The trial was divided into multiple investigations.
This investigation pertains to participation in a criminal organization during the period from 1 July 2015 to 14 January 2017.
Bakker was murdered because he allegedly provided the police with information about customers of the store in Nieuwegein where he worked. In a separate case, two 'spotters' were also convicted for this murder. They also made preparations for an explosion in the spy shop in Nieuwegein, where Bakker was employed. Taghi suspected the company of collaborating with the police and judiciary. This was evident from messages intercepted by the police via PGP phones between Taghi and co-defendants, which could only be cracked years later.
In April 2016, Samir Erraghib was murdered in his car in front of his house in IJsselstein, while his seven year old daughter sat next to him. According to intercepted messages, Taghi believed Erraghib had passed information about his organization to the police and had order the murder. In a separate case, two suspects including the shooter were sentenced to 22 years in prison.
