While on trail, Taghi ordered and succeeded in the murder of:

  • the crown witness' innocent brother,
  • the crown witness' lawyer, Derk Wiersum,
  • investigative journalist, Dutch celebrity and confidant of the crown witness, Peter R. de Vries.

This level of violence aimed at innocents was unheard of in the Netherlands. It's what drug trafficking brings.

It's what people with too much power brings.

These guys saw their wealth was threatened, so they spent some of it to protect it.

The solution is to make sure these people don't have enough excess wealth to spend it how they do.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
