ONNO: Tony became
at that point being put under tremendous
pressured by Delano...

according to his own statement.

And witnesses see here
a dying Jair Wessels.

That one is still being resuscitated.

Tony realizes:
I can't go through with this.
This must not happen.

Driver of the getaway cars...

Being part of such a m*rder cell.

But at that moment he also
to discover that he's actually...

no matches at all
or lighters with him....

To set that gasoline on fire.

And that was the moment for Tony
that he fled.

And that's what Tony has
stated.30 to 40 people
had to be k*lled off.

'What will happen later
when they know that I
made that statement? '

subtitles: Red Bed Media

VO: While George van Dijk worked with
with the members of Caloh Wagoh...

is in prison, he hears from
Justice that his life is in danger.

George is also said to be
be on a k*ll list.

What was it like for you
that you were in detention...

and that you were told from the
corner of Greg R. and Caloh Wagoh....

people you had sat at the table with
had sat with...

people you had eaten with...

that those people of all people
would want to liquidate you?

It makes me laugh, John.
I keep laughing about it.

If they do it, they do it.
There's just no reason for it.

Just like I just pointed out.
I'm not a snitch.

I don't talk to justice.

I just to my knowledge
made a decent statement.

But you would be a danger
to Greg and Caloh Wagoh....

and therefore you should be liquidated
should be liquidated. That's your idea.

But John, listen:
First of all, I never had
I never had anything to do with Caloh Wagoh.

I don't like men in leather.

I also say honestly. They can think
think what they want.

I am a man on my own....

and Greg has absolutely no reason
to want to have me liquidated.

It can only be that
that he thinks...

that I would have leaked information
leaked about Caloh Wagoh.

VO: The threat is so great
that George is being transferred...

To another prison.

GEORGE: I was taken out of my cell in a spectacular
taken out of my cell in a spectacular way?

I was standing by the phone and I heard
a lot of banging on the door.

I was already hearing feet shuffling and
I thought, Hey, what is this?

And just when I had
had the phone in my hands....

flew open the hatch once more.

And then it was said that I had to get down on my
knees on the floor.

And then a heavily armed
arrest team stormed in.

With about 20 men.

Then I was like, as I
indicated it before...

Transported like Houdini.
I am gagged and done.

I'm not quite
kicked in the teeth.

It was supposedly
for my safety.

You are recent too,
very recent indeed...

warned again by the police
That you are in acute danger.

It doesn't do anything to me anymore, because
they have already k*lled my feelings.

You shouldn't be anxious...

And a b*llet goes so fast, John,
you don't even know what's happening.

I've had one through my
legs, I've had one
in my head.

I'm not afraid of it.

VO: George van Dijk
is eventually convicted
for the extortion case.

His case has been split off
from the rest of the Eris trial.

Meanwhile, the investigation
into Caloh Wagoh continues as usual.

The club of the Delano R...

is also associated
with the liquidation...

of a Belgian in September 2017.

How is it that
a sympathetic businessman...

apparently gets into such trouble
that he gets k*lled?

Police are investigating
a scenario about who might
possibly involved...

on the death
of this Stefaan Bogaerts.

And tonight the police are announcing
why a motorcycle club...

emerge in that scenario.

On September 21, 2017
here in Spijkenisse
another liquidation will take place...

this time from Stefaan Bogaerts.

MICK: Stefaan Bogaerts
came from Belgium...

was someone who lived in Antwerp....

and when we heard
of his liquidation...

we found out pretty quickly....

based on tips, that he
played a role in the port.

Well, then you actually know.

Antwerp, there's a huge
a lot of cocaine coming in...

and so he had
a kind of container business.

He traded in containers.

Stefaan Bogaerts is going to be
one way or another that evening...

lured here to Spijkenisse.

VO: Stefaan leaves in the evening
from Belgium.

He's on the phone
a few more minutes with his son...

not knowing what
awaiting him that night.

It is certain that Stefaan
has been in Rotterdam...

and around 9 p.m.
arrives in Spijkenisse.

On camera it can be seen that Stefaan
Bogaerts is actually driving around
been driving around for 20 minutes...

and ends up here parking his car exactly
parked in this exact spot.

And then all of a sudden
here from the bushes...

where two men
have been hiding...

these two men
run up to this car...

and one is sh**ting
with an automatic weapon...

from just about this position
through the right rear side window....

so in the direction
of Stefaan Bogaerts.

He is hit several times
hit by b*ll*ts and dies
actually almost immediately.

MICK: A possible motive for the
m*rder could lie in the fact...

that there is a batch of cocaine
intercepted that was linked
to his company.

And then when party
is intercepted...

then someone has to pay and in
this case it was Stefaan Bogaerts.

The liquidation
many people witnessed.

That also had to do
with the fact that it...

wasn't that late in the evening
and there were quite a few people
walking around the streets.

And those people could later give the police
provide useful leads as well....

among other things
on the description of the perpetrator.

The getaway car of the perpetrators
will be recovered that same evening...

recovered in Barendrecht.
About 20 kilometers from here.

VO: While the fire department
trying to secure traces...

the police at the crime scene
busy with the investigation.

And from that, it emerges pretty quickly
that the perpetrators
acted quite recklessly.

Because down the block of flats
here at the end of the street....

will be on the first floor
and on the third floor...

still found b*llet fragments
from that automatic weapon.

MICK: There's sh**ting.
b*ll*ts are flying into properties...

And whatever you saw earlier,
in Doorn by that house.

They don't care.
That collateral damage,
none of it matters.

And it's only about ONE thing.

That's knocking off that target and whoever
gets hit there in addition...

It doesn't matter, so that's bad luck.

And at a much later stage
of the investigation...

the police also discover that there is a
link, again, to Caloh Wagoh.

Because exactly opposite
the spot where Stefaan Bogaerts
was liquidated...

there's a cafe,
which is now boarded up...

where actually Caloh Wagoh members
got together...

and used that cafe
as a kind of clubhouse.

Yes, then you think of:
Why would that have happened?

Is that because he found that place
familiar?

Or is that perhaps a signal
from Caloh Wagoh, from:

That everyone does know:
'Guys, we're behind this. '

'Watch out. Don't f*ck with us. '

Just a stark warning.
That too could be done.

VO: Crown witness Tony de G.
tells police...

that Stefan Bogaerts
had already been lured to the same place
in Spijkenisse before....

but that the planned
liquidation then failed.

And also after the liquidation
of Stefaan Bogaerts...

the organization of Ridouan
Taghi on for new victims.

This can be read in the PGP messages
found at Delano R.'s house.

Taghi, according to the Justice Department, wants
Keylow to have a gym owner from
from Utrecht to be liquidated.

He gives the leader
of Caloh Wagoh information...

and calls
the intended victim "sports.

These messages were sent
in November 2017...

and right in that period
a restaurant
in Utrecht is literally under fire.

In the restaurant here behind me
take place during 2017...

multiple attacks
and threats took place.

The police are investigating
that, of course...

There is even an automatic
weapon on the facade
of the building...

but actually has
no idea at all....

until a very important tip
comes in...

and in it it is actually reported....

that two regulars
of this restaurant...

would possibly be a target....

or that those intimidated
should be intimidated.

And then it's about
about Robin van O. and Moes F.

And these, according to the police, count as
archenemies of Ridouan Taghi.

Robin of O. is very interesting,
who belongs to the camp...

with which Taghi
carries out a rock-hard w*r....

and Taghi wanted him dead,
according to the Justice Department.

VO: So Robin of O. is
the gym owner...

which is spoken of
in the PGP messages.

And from those reports
show that Taghi is short on time.

Robin van O is warned
by the judiciary...

and goes into hiding at another address.

He is one of the many victims
of the assassination plans...

by Ridouan Taghi and Delano R.

But Robin of O is at that point
actually still...

a great unknown
to the Dutch public.

Although he is a well-known figure
in the criminal milieu...

in the drug world...

but the ordinary
Dutch citizen does not know him.

But that changes
in the summer of 2020.

They are unique images,
something we have never seen
seen in the Netherlands.

Police.

Police.

VO: Sea containers set up
as a prison and t*rture chamber.

Police. Space free.

But now it appears that a 40-year-old
Hagenaar has been arrested...

as the prime suspect in this case.

The investigation into the man
began last April.

He was suspected of involvement
in drug trafficking...

and preparing
liquidation.

And in the investigation, the
the police on the shed in Brabant.

ANDY: Those agents that did the raid
and also that search...

they were all
quiet for a moment.

I'm Andy Kraag, head of
of the National Crime Squad...

and the Douglasville investigation,
to the underworld prison...

but also the research 26Lemont...

to the crypto-communication provider
EncroChat.

Those were investigations that were under
my responsibility.

Inside that shed were
seven shipping containers.

Six of them were arranged
as a cell...

as an abode...

and a seventh presumably
as a t*rture chamber.

Those containers were
fully prepared...

so they were insulated,
soundproofed...

there were chains on the floors
and on the ceilings...

with handcuffs
to tie people up in.

camera system was put up
to monitor people in.

Just a complete t*rture unit
that was called the mini-EBI....

all taped up,
with a dental chair...

where they could put people,
lock them up...

and with all kinds of tools
could t*rture.

Or at least threaten them
with terrible t*rture.

And we saw there
also all kinds of objects.

Pliers, scissors, gas burners,
claw hammers, handcuffs, balaclavas.

All attributes whereby someone
does have the ability to just be enormously threatening....

or can hurt a lot.

But what we found here,
something on this scale...

and also so professionally set up....

that the most seasoned
detectives really had never seen.

And even the most hardened members
of the arrest team had never seen this
never seen this before either.

Police.

See.

f*cking hell...

Next to this shed
there was a second shed...

also discovered by us
in the research.

That was a warehouse in Rotterdam,
right next to the A16...

which acted as
a sort of base of operations....

from which abductions
should be committed.

They also called this
their AT headquarters....

so the AT headquarters,
from where they could move out

To commit a kidnapping.

There, by the way, we found
also just fast cars,
lots of weapons, equipment...

that kind of far-reaching plans,
prepared in precision.

We have not seen that in this order
not seen yet.

Have you had any idea
who might be out there...

in those underworld prisons
should end up...

Or in that t*rture container?

This group certainly had people
in mind...

And those were not innocent.
Nor were they random.

The story is then that the club
around Robin van O. in it would then
would want to t*rture opponents.

That's the idea that justice has.

And if we could get a look
of these people...

of course,
then we were going to warn them too....

because we then wanted them to
themselves to safety
and could go into hiding.

We didn't want to take any chances
that there would be casualties.

VO: According to the justice department, Robin van O.
is the mastermind behind these t*rture chambers.

They track down the group around Van O.
on the trail...

after a spectacular action
by the police.

Good evening.
It goes according to the police...

to conduct the largest criminal investigation
ever...

which has produced a veritable gold mine
of information.

International
investigative agencies claim...

that they have dealt organized crime
have dealt a huge blow...

by breaking into a
secret chat service, EncroChat.

EncroChat is a provider
of encrypted phones...

On the street, those the phones
also called PGP phones.

The EncroChat software
is different from the PGP technique....

but the basic principle
is exactly the same.

That by means of
of encryption, ciphering....

you guarantee to your customers,
to the users...

That the communication remains secret.

By the way, it is pricey.
It's 3,000 euros on average
for an annual subscription.

Another secret service
with whom you can communicate secretly.

And there is a wealth of evidence there.

They could literally listen in
with criminals or watch
with what they were messaging each other.

The fact that we could read
in the messages from the phones...

where they thought they were
were completely anonymous on that....

that they were relying on so
that they were completely secret...

and could talk openly and freely,
that gave us a huge advantage.

And you could see all the way
in every step, in every intention
that was there in this group.

The construction
of that underworld prison.

We got a good look at the plans
that this group had...

To kidnap people...

to eventually just take them for
captured for a long time....

under what I consider to be really
degrading conditions....

and then to have them
then interrogate them...

and thereby t*rture or
threatening to t*rture.

That whole EncroChat thing is really a
devastating blow to crime.

And only now do I also have the idea again....

after about eight or nine years....

that it's really 2-0 again
for justice.

What does this actually say
about the size of the mocromafia?

Or if you want to put it more broadly,
the organized
crime in the Netherlands?

I think we have always said
have said that if Holland...

we are ONE of the key players
in that drug industry.

As a drug-trafficking country,
trafficking cocaine...

but also in drug production.

But what's now the beauty,
what's the advantage...

is that we now have a concrete
visibility.

VO: Robin van O.
is still in jail...

pending his trial.

The same goes for the top
of Caloh Wagoh.

In addition, the police and judiciary are working
on a case...

to ban the entire motorcycle club
ban...

just as has been done before
with other motorcycle gangs.

NEWS: After the Hells Angels, now also
motorcycle club No Surrender banned.

Motorcycle club Satudarah
is banned as of today.

Bandidos motorcycle club is banned
and will remain prohibited.

PIM: We have been working for quite a few years now in a
years now with a structured
with the approach.

That's what we do as police...

but actually we do that
as broad government....

and as a broad society.

And I find that it works
on a number of fronts.

We see these motorcycle gangs
much less in public spaces.

The public is
less confronted with it...

no more terraces are
so terraces are taken
where those motorcycle gangs sit.

It is no longer the case
that in the entertainment centers

ONE of those motorcycle gangs rules.

There we have really
made great strides.

MICK: The prosecution wants to ban Caloh Wagoh
banned as a motorcycle club...

because the club
is an outright danger....

for public order and safety.

The same thing you see with Bandidos,
Satudarah and No Surrender.

Of course we're going to give Caloh Wagoh
firmly, of course, too....

we've already done that
already done with those heavy incidents....

with all kinds of criminal
investigations.

But also for Caloh Wagoh we have
together with the Prosecutor's Office...

now the action
for civil injunction...

and we want to
therefore ban that club as well.

MICK: And they will have to go to court
have to go with ammunition....

And have to say of:
Look, regular liquidations,
arms trafficking and drug trafficking.

Because an association you can
not just ban civilian....

so you really need to have ammunition.

I would be naive if I thought
that Caloh Wagoh with this ban...

but from our Dutch
or international ground
would have disappeared.

Because there are many criminals in it....

people who exhibit criminal
exhibit...

and who will
will continue to do so in the future.

So I'm not naive.

What I do have confidence in,
is that we will really
a really solid blow to them.

VO: The so-called mocromafia
has been providing for more than eight years...

for death and destruction
in the underworld.

According to the justice department, Ridouan
Taghi motorcycle club Caloh Wagoh...

carry out m*rder plans...

because his own m*rder squad
was behind bars.

At least five murders are
attributed to Caloh Wagoh.

Justin Jap Tjong, Farid Souhali,
Jair Wessels...

Zeki Yumusak and Stefaan Bogaerts.

And also completely
innocent people...

Were confronted with violence...

or witnessed the rock-hard
w*r in the underworld.

I actually just drove by here
and I came home...

And I heard tut-tut-tut.
Really big shots.

And that chair
really hit it here.

If I had been there,
I would have been there more.

JOHN: Here in this extra secure
court at Schiphol Airport...

Thus, the Eris process takes place.

And 20 suspects are on trial.

These include hitters, spotters,
but also the principals...

who may be facing very long prison
sentences.

There's a lot of evidence
according to the prosecution...

but the lawyers are going to
obviously going to have some
against it.

Because ultimately it is
up to the judge to determine....

who may or may not be guilty
and who is or is not...

for a longer period
will end up behind bars.

Ridouan Taghi...

whose name also appears in many files
in the Eris trial....

will not be tried in this trial
be tried.

The prosecution has
deliberately chose to give him...

in a separate process,
the so-called Marengo trial,
to be tried.

And then first you have that
Marengo v. Taghi trial.

That's already huge,
huge amount of k*lling.

And there comes ONE more time
that process Eris
of Caloh Wagoh on top of it.

More murders,
more assassination attempts.

Again, that working in cells
and that size.

When you put that together,
you're talking about 50 people...

in the liquidation circuit,
somewhat linked as well.

It's so incredibly big.

They are crimes at the extreme
of the violence spectrum.

Sparing nothing and no one.

In which any edge damage
such as popping over...

Of innocents,
is simply taken for granted.

So here in the courtroom stands the
great leader of Caloh Wagoh....

Delano R. on trial and usually
he sits here with his lawyer.

And I must say, the times that I have
I've been present at the trial...

he actually made
a very calm, relaxed impression.

And that's kind of
the image that emerges of him....

how he behaves
behaves in prison.

He can apparently sit easily.

ROBBY: When I first read
about the very concrete suspicions....

I was standing there with my ears
flapping my ears...

because it involves
severe forms of violence....

nor ONE occurrence. Multiple
incidents are linked to it.

So that did shock me.

As a human being, as someone
who has known him for 15 years.

If you look purely at what the clubs
over the years...

have also expressed in the media
about what they do....

and what they are willing to do,
I found it a little less strange.

Those are things that they also
in the past also did in media....

reporting, have hinted that they
been involved.

You have to make sure you don't become
become a victim of a ripdeal.

You have to make sure that you are always
be the winner in a ripdeal.

That's all you have to do.
I don't need to say more.

Keylow is someone you're used to
to spending time in detention....

and on the street he used to say too:
Detention for me is not the
problem. I'll get through that.

He is polite to the keepers....

doesn't cause
really big problems....

and actually waits here a bit,
so the impression is, awaits his fate.

Answer calmly
the judges' questions...

and sometimes
from the prosecutors.

So that's actually pretty
pretty relaxed.

And that is remarkable, because there is
much over his head, of course.

There is a lot of evidence against him,
according to the prosecution.

And those aren't just
the statements of Tony de G...

But of course
also those PGP calls....

those phones
that he photographed himself....

and whereby therefore
very important evidence...

in the eyes of the Public
Ministry has emerged.

And that basically means,
that combination of evidence...

that a lot of mischief
hanging over his head.

Perhaps even
a life sentence.

ONNO: Without Tony, Caloh Wagoh
might have come into the picture....

at some point...

but for example
the fact of Thorn...

that sh**ting at that residence....

The police did know
that it had happened...

but they had no clue, they had
no clue at all.

Nothing at all. Tony just
suddenly started declaring about it.

'Oh yes, then there's
that and that happened. '

So who starts
telling the whole story.

They didn't know anything about that at all.
Such a fact, for example...

That fact would never
come into the picture....

If Tony hadn't declared. No.

Look, are you really
a very small fish...

and every now and then you bring
a bag somewhere....

but don't you know by God
who is pulling the strings....

Then you are not so valuable.
But with Tony...

Who has contact with the top layer,
who's in touch with Delano.

Also engages himself
with real liquidations...

so he's on top of it
and that's why his statements are
really very important.

Supplemented of course
With the PGP messages...

that also connect
to the stories he tells.

Here in another corner of
the courtroom, there sits Greg R.

Who, admittedly, is suspected of somewhat less
criminal offenses...

then Delano R..

but they are, according to
the public prosecutor's office
are very serious criminal offences.

It also involves
about ordering killings.

That means that if the Public
Ministry can prove that...

that Greg R. could also face a life
prison sentence.

Greg has distanced himself
from his own life...

because it constantly
but the commands...

to have other people
to be shot dead.

He has always said to me:
There is ONE higher power that decides....

and who decides about him.

If you get a life sentence,
you'll have no prospects...

you might as well
put a string around your neck.

Someone who really shouldn't have
Should have joined such a club....

but sitting there now and then still....

has the expectation over his head
that he can get life in prison.

Then I would keep the credit to myself.

And I'm behind this sometimes,
if I follow the process...

and then I really think: What goes
going on in the mind of this Greg R.?

This man is well versed
in the Amsterdam underworld...

is now 72 years old and has been
actually been for a very large part...

of his life behind bars
and yet will also realize....

that it might mean
that even to his death...

behind those bars
will have to disappear.

And of course asks
the prosecution and also judges...

to him how he views these
accusations all.

Yeah, and he's actually doing
what he's been doing all his life.

He flatly denies it.

If you look at the evidence:
A treasure trove of PGP messages....

the statements of Tony G.,
accurate, detailed, important.

Yes, I think the
leaders will be sentenced
will be sentenced to life in prison.

But whoever's here
with an incredibly sour face...

will be in the courtroom,
is Michel K.

And Michel K formed together
with Tony de G. a m*rder squad....

was, according to the Public
Ministry was responsible...

for the m*rder of Jair Wessels
and a number of other
criminal offences.

But where Tony de G.
ultimately chose
to make a deal...

with the prosecution
in exchange for reduced sentences...

opening up.
In contrast, Michel K...

great chance
of a very long prison sentence.

And that has mainly to do with
the whole incriminating statements....

that his old buddy Tony de G.
made about Michel K.

He was actually taken in by his old
buddy, his partner in crime....

betrayed, betrayed.

MICK: Actually
there are two characteristics
of all those actions that they perform.

It is A] relentless.

It is 2] often in execution,
terribly gnarly.

The preliminary process often looks
better than the completion.

The spotting, the arranging
of the cars, fake license plates....

you name it.
That's often okay.

But what often looks bad,
is the execution.

VO: And that's where it went
wrong for Tony the G...

when after the liquidation
on Jair Wessels had no lighter....

To set the getaway car on fire.

After his arrest, G.
to make a deal with the Justice Department....

and that's why he's sitting
as a key witness in court.

Standing in line with
his old comrades.

He is sitting in a separate witness
booth, along with his lawyer.

And from that booth, he has to
he has to answer the questions....

From the prosecutor,
of the lawyers and of the judges.

And what does the life
of Tony de G. look like now?

Well, that's not something
to be very jealous of.

He is segregated here, of course,
but also in prison
he is segregated.

He is not allowed to have any contact
with fellow inmates.

A crown witness is not just sitting
in an ordinary prison.

Then it would not survive very long.

So that means Tony is trapped in a
very lonely regime.

And that's tough,
because he doesn't see anyone anymore...

And he doesn't get any visitors either.
Except from me.

He's having a pretty
quite difficult with that, yes.

JOHN: And what does that mean for his
life when he's allowed to
allowed to leave after a number of years?

He then comes under the banner of
the witness protection program.

And that actually means that he
Netherlands will have to leave...

that he no longer has any contact
with his old environment....

and with his family, that somewhere
a new life somewhere abroad...

will have to build up with another
identity and different passport....

and probably also
with a different appearance.

And does that mean that he can
can then do that safely?

Eventually all kinds of
measures will be taken...

to give him a safe life
Of course.

But experience has shown
with witnesses of this caliber...

that he would still
for the rest of his life...

over his shoulder
will have to keep looking.

ONNO: He doesn't look
to the future.

He waits and he sees
what happens.

He can't figure out yet
what's going to happen...

If he is ever at large again.

He doesn't know what the situation is like then.

What the situation is like outside. How
the situation is with his family.

with his loved ones.
He doesn't know when he comes out....

which people do and which people
don't want to deal with him anymore....

or still want to see him
or still want to know him.

He doesn't know where he's going
going when he gets outside.

So I told him, "Honey,
don't think about it just yet.

Taghi and Rico almost
just brotherly about each other....

From: Are you Hermano,
I am Sir. Hermano, Sir.

That wasn't an underdog
of Taghi, so to speak.

Actually, there is no one
within that whole mocromafia....

who is talked about
talked about as much as Noffel.

If you look at those chats
that have been exchanged...

via those Pretty Good Privacy
phones...

then sometimes it seems that Rico
the Chilean Taghi whistles back again.

Taghi wants to see blood, wants to see
wants to see, wants to k*ll everyone...

and k*ll Koos Plooij
and everyone must die and revenge.

And those gunmen
kept running after him....

and they kept
sh**ting at those cars.

I certainly believe
that megatrio is there....

and it has always fascinated me
fascinated me, from:

Who is actually
ultimately the boss?

And then he ended up here
into the water.
