This is how we discuss the outfits
during theDeutsche State visit....

of the king and queen.

And yet another two-week wait
for the hospitality industry after a Janssen vaccine.

I am Marieke Elsinga.
-I am Luuk Ikink.

And this is RTL Boulevard.

Thus, there has also been
of a removal.

VO: In previous seasons of
'The Hunt For The Mocro Mafia' ...

we see that a years-long
ruthless drug w*r raging
in the Netherlands.

It begins in 2012
As a vanished batch of cocaine

the Amsterdam underworld
on edge.

Dozens of criminals
are being shot out of existence.

It is revenge upon revenge.

NEWS RELEASE: Automatic
firearms in a residential neighborhood.

NEWS RELEASE: Automatic
firearms in a residential neighborhood.

Wild chases,
cops getting shot at.

In Amsterdam last night
two Amsterdammers...

aged 21 and 28 m*rder*d.

VO: At the time, in the region of
Utrecht Ridouan Taghi from...

to one of the largest
drug traffickers in the Netherlands.

He has since been linked
to more than ten liquidations

and several assassination attempts.

According to the Justice Department, in doing so, Taghi
using several
hitmen.

Due in part to statements
of crown witnesses

have been rolled up these m*rder squads.

Despite police
are eliminating the m*rder squad....

the assassinations continue.

With as a sad low point
the attack on Peter R. de Vries.

From the police investigation
arises the thought

That Ridouan Taghi in 2021,
while he's stuck here nota bene...

in the Extra Secure Institution
in Vught...

put together a new assassination squad.

put together a new assassination squad.

A group of Polish criminals.

VO: In this new season
of "The Hunt For The Mocro Mafia,"...

we'll see how this turned out.

Who are these Polish criminals
and what is Eddy's story?

A key witness
protected by the police.

How did Ridouan Taghi
from a heavily guarded EBI...

continue his criminal practices
be able to continue?

And then the most important question:

Did he from the EBI
ordered...

To k*ll Peter R. de Vries?

After the broadcast of "RTL Boulevard
was Peter R. de Vries...

right here on this spot
shot around 7:30 p.m.

After investigation, it was found that in the
weeks and months before his death

had already been observed by spotters
who were watching him

To chart his life.

Police and prosecutors
assume...

Police and prosecutors
assume...

That it all happened
at the behest of the organization

By Ridouan Taghi.

It affects the whole of the Netherlands.The
assassination attempt on Peter R. de Vries....

last night in Amsterdam.

I find it
so incredibly terrible.

That you are doing your job and that this is the
price you pay for your work.

Peter R. de Vries has admirers
in all circles of society.

And is loved
in all parts of our country.

VO: The attack plunges the Netherlands
in deep mourning.

After the m*rder of the brother
of the star witness,Nabil B,
in the Marengo trial...

and the m*rder of the lawyer
of the star witness,Derk Wiersum....

in the summer of 2021 is now also
his trustee liquidated.

There is sometimes talk
about narcoterrorism.

How do you see that?
-That's what we have.

It is absolutely
a form of terror.

There are drug criminals
who will stop at nothing.

There is an incredible amount of money.

There is
incredible violence.

There is
incredible violence.

And the violence and intimidation
also target the upper world.

In a country like the Netherlands where
people are no longer at liberty to...

can do their jobs,
people who serve the rule of law.

If you are talking about the prosecutor
prosecutor,judges,journalists....

politicians,we can
never begin to find normal.

You can never think:
That's just part of it.

So this is really
incredibly important.

That we continue that fight
and continue to win.

Because I am convinced
that we are winning it.

VO: Soon after the attack
police begin a manhunt...

on the suspected shooters.

Thanks to witnesses,cameras
and license plate recognition

the getaway car,
a stolen Renault...

detected within three quarters of an hour.

That getaway car was stopped on the A4 near
Leidschendam.

In the process
two suspects were detained.

NEWS RELEASE: It concerns a


and a 21-year-old Rotterdam man.

MARTIN: They are two men
who both have roots in Tiel.

MARTIN: They are two men
who both have roots in Tiel.

Delano G. grew up in Tiel
and at an early age...

also ended up in crime
with street robberies and muggings.

And Kamil E.
is a Polish criminal...

who throughout Europe
has roamed...

and also previously lived in the Netherlands
has lived there.

His mother also lives in Tiel.

He was at the time of that m*rder
of Peter R. de Vries...

also active in the drug trade
in Tiel and surrounding areas.

SASKIA: Delano in particular has
remained silent during the sessions
during the sessions.

Didn't want to say much.

Actually only in his last
want to say something.

I have chosen
to say something anyway as a last word.

Knowing that everything I say
will be disproved anyway.

Or seen as implausible.

I want to extend my condolences
To all the bereaved families.

I want to extend my condolences
To all the bereaved families.

And I do sympathize with all of you.

I sincerely wish you every strength.

A kind of apology offered to
the family of Peter R. de Vries.

Kamil E. said all the more.

He actually said that
he more or less attempted to...

To stop the case
and delay.

I didn't have to
worry about anything...

I had to take a boy to a McDonald's
in Amsterdam.

Yes,he says.I didn't k*ll anyone.
I have no blood on my hands.

And so he feels that the claim
life in prison against him is unjustified.

In the stolen Kadjar
police 'n converted alarm p*stol.

And then later it turns out that with that
the m*rder was also committed.

Police also find 'n big shopper,
a shopping bag...

containing a p*stol machine g*n.

containing a p*stol machine g*n.

But,and also very important,
is that the police

also found two Google Pixel phones
finds on the suspect.

And with that, there has been telephone traffic
been around that m*rder.

What is striking is that the police
on those 2 Google Pixel phones....

chat messages back and those
chat messages are about the run-up

and about the outcome
of that assassination attempt.

On the basis of those instant messages
also emerges

That they are controlled
by a third figure

and that,in not tender terms, he urges
he urges them to commit that m*rder.

VO: Delano G.
was the suspected sh**ter.

Kamil E. was driving the getaway car.

Who the mysterious principal is ,
is not clear by then.

Who the mysterious principal is ,
is not clear by then.

The shock is great when almost
immediately after the attack...

a video on social media
appears...

Of the seriously injured
Peter R. de Vries.

These unpleasant images
we do not show.

But that these images are going viral,
according to police, is no coincidence.

SASKIA: Right after Delano shot Peter R.
de Vries shot dead...

two men came into view who
did not render first aid

As the prosecution said,
but filmed.

JOHN: What stands out on this street
is that it's full of cameras.

At cafes and at restaurants.

That obviously helps the police a lot
in investigating the attack.

Because when they study the footage,
they see here in the McDonald's...

two men sit and they sit
waiting for 50 minutes...

until Peter R. de Vries after the
broadcast of RTL Boulevard...

until Peter R. de Vries after the
broadcast of RTL Boulevard...

walks out of this door and in the direction
of the parking garage.

And what then stands out,is that the
two men go after him

with their phones at the ready.

SASKIA: The moment the shots
sounded,they went off.

And they immediately pulled out their cell phones
pulled out and started filming.

As far as the prosecution is concerned
it is clear.

They belonged, they knew
what was about to happen.

There is just a deal
made with them...

That they would create those images.

ULYSSE: The m*rder of Peter R. de Vries
And showing those images...

That in the Netherlands organized
crime is willing

To use a different level
of violence.

SASKIA: It will have been
have been intended...

To show the principal
that the mission had succeeded.

But surely also
to show society of:

If you thwart our organization,
this is what awaits you.

If you thwart our organization,
this is what awaits you.

ULYSSE: The filming of m*rder
and as*ault...

and other terrible acts
we recognize, of course...

as already a very old modus operandi
of t*rror1st movements.

Al Qaida,IS have done that
done in the past.

All for ONE purpose:
To instill fear in society.

SASKIA: He is, of course, a
crime journalist of repute.

That someone like that just in the center
is shot out of existence...

chopped off enormously.

We were able to see that
in the period after his death.

When there was a really huge
amount of people stood...

To be able to say goodbye to him.

VO: The detectives soon get the
two filmmakers soon in their sights.

VO: The detectives soon get the
two filmmakers soon in their sights.

One is picked up in Spain,
the other in Curacao.

SASKIA: Gerower is called one
and Erickson is called the other.

Actually, we can't
so much to say about them.

They had during the first session
that there was...

at which they were present then
kept mostly silent.

We must never forget those images.

We should do everything we can
to make sure...

that that never happens again
and I think it's very strong

That the prosecution in this case
also t*rror1st intent...

charged.

SASKIA: t*rror1st motive are you laying
charge at the time...

That you think something is meant to
frighten that society.

In this case
succeeded quite well one would say.

VO: The m*rder of Peter R. de Vries
appears to have been professionally
organized.

There are the performers,
Kamil E. and Delano G.

There are the performers,
Kamil E. and Delano G.

And there is team two,with the filmmakers
Gerower M. and Erickson O.

The filmers, according to the justice department, receive
instructions from an intermediary.

Ludgardo S. who is in contact
with the prime suspect Krystian M.

The two suspects Kamil E.
and Delano G. both appear to be...

That name of Krystian M.
in their phone.

So the connection is then made of:
They both have that contact.

And so there must be something.

But what's on top of it is
that very soon after the attack there were...

on Peter R. de Vries calling someone
with Report Crime Anonymous...

and says: That m*rder was ordered
by a man here from Tiel.

You must have those.

VO: While police are fully
investigating Krystian M...

suddenly comes new information.

Three months after the m*rder of Peter R.
de Vries runs here behind me....

the police station in Ter Aar
a Polish man entered...

and who reports to the front desk.

He tells me that he
important information...

and that he would very much
to talk to the neighborhood police officer.

That neighborhood agent is brought in,
who also reports to the front desk.

And then the man tells
that he has information

about the m*rder
of a well-known journalist.

Then, of course, to the police
all the alarm bells go off.

The story told here
told in the police station

is so interesting
that the police decide

To put him in touch with
Team Criminal Intelligence,the TCI.

And there two days later he can
in The Hague...

to tell his full story.

The Polish witness is
referred to as Eddy in the criminal record.

Or witness 5089.Eddy works here
as supervisor or handyman....

Or witness 5089.Eddy works here
as supervisor or handyman....

in this bungalow park populated
by Polish migrant workers.

MARTY: What is known about witness
Eddy is that he is completely trapped....

into the world of that Krystian M.

There's no way for him to go.
He is more or less involved...

at an abduction plan
and there are all kinds of cars....

leased in his name.

So he knows that the police will come to him left
or right will come out to him.

JOHN: The detectives are
very interested in Eddy....

because he has a very interesting
story to tell...

about a Polish criminal
organization that commits crimes.

Like drug trafficking or murders
or kidnappings.

That m*rder squad would
led by one Krystian M.

Those who want to have a m*rder committed ,
can turn to Krystian M.

And Eddy knows him well,because Krystian
M. is a very good friend of his.

Krystian is 1.78 meters,
broad build. Full of tattoos.

Krystian is 1.78 meters,
broad build. Full of tattoos.

He is fairly young,about 28 years old.

And according to witness Eddy,
who therefore knows him very well...

it's also a very busy man,
a temper.

But also someone
who is full of himself.

And also someone who talks easily.

And about all kinds of criminal matters
is very loosey-goosey.

Krystian asks
at one point to Eddy....

whether he also wants to lease cars
and have them put in his name.

Eddy doesn't have
not so much trouble with that.

He can.He has in the Netherlands
no criminal record.

Eddy provides that service,but
then notices over time...

That Krystian uses those cars for
serious crime practices.

It does get darker and darker.It
appears to be serious business.

At one point
he feels completely stuffy....

in the presence of Krystian.

I will get the statements from Eddy
in hand.

I will get the statements from Eddy
in hand.

And these testimonies
will ultimately lead...

To the total dismantling
of the Polish Assassination Command.

Krystian M.,a Polish boy,
is linked to a group of...

who you can think of
as a kind of homicide brigade.

At least those dirty jobs
in the underworld.

Along with a lot of
other Polish guys.

VO: 27-year-old Krystian
moves 10 years ago...

from Poland to the Netherlands.

With his family he ends up
in the region of Tiel.

According to Eddy, Krystian often stays
at this vacation park in Ochten....

where he deals cocaine.

Through the cocaine business he comes
in contact with the mocromafia....

and begins his career
as a m*rder broker.

and begins his career
as a m*rder broker.

According to the police
receive m*rder broker Krystian M...

via a special telephone orders
from a cousin of Ridouan Taghi.

While Taghi is detained in the EBI
in Vught, this cousin gives...

on behalf of his uncle orders
to the Polish assassination command.

It is notable that Krystian M.
uses the designation uncle

When he talks about Ridouan Taghi.

Krystian goes into the Betuwe in search
for a g*nman.

And he ends up with Poland's Kamil.

This Kamil,who runs a construction company,
gets a g*n and a loaner car.

And that Kamil E.
takes that job, too.

He's also going to look around Amsterdam
to see if he can find Peter R. de Vries.

And Krystian also feels that he should
should then finish it very quickly.

But then Kamil still doesn't dare.

And he says at one point:
The car is stolen...

in which lay the firearm
with which I had to commit that m*rder.

According to the witness Eddy
Krystian is furious with Kamil.

Who says of: He just doesn't dare.

He even threatens,says witness Eddy,
to k*ll Kamil's mother...

to k*ll then,
to put pressure on Kamil.

to k*ll then,
to put pressure on Kamil.

VO: Krystian next arranges
another old acquaintance...

from the criminal milieu.

Delano G.,a young criminal
who has been detained before ...

For burglaries and robberies.

Kamil and Delano should together
the attack on Peter R. de Vries....

for their account.

On July 6, 2021
Peter R. de Vries is shot.

But only a day later
does witness Eddy realize...

Who the victim actually is.

Eddy is just at work
at the vacation park.

A colleague comes up to him and
says, "Did you see that footage?

A colleague comes up to him and
says, "Did you see that footage?

'That Peter R. de Vries
was shot dead.'

Eddy then says to the police:
Only at that moment did I realize...

So it was about that Peter R.
de Vries.That man had to die.

Eddy even claimed
that he did not know Peter R. de Vries.

What for us
is a famous Dutchman...

is for the average
Polish migrant worker...

in the criminal environment
just a big question mark.

VO: According to witness Eddy
is driving m*rder broker Krystian...

the evening after the attack to the
family of the alleged shooters.

He pays them 150,000 euros cash.

Eddy has the story that there was


Eddy has the story that there was


for that liquidation and that Krystian
went to Tiel...

on the evening of the sh**ting
Of Peter R. de Vries ...

and also handed over that money
to the families of Kamil and Delano.

Delano would have just gotten the full
gotten,i.e., 100,000 euros.

Kamil got a little less.
Money had to be taken off...

because he had also lost a weapon
and a car he had lost.

So he only got 45,000.

VO: According to witness Eddy, his
friend Krystian M. is the ringleader....

Of a Polish k*lling squad....

which, among other things, gets hired
by the mocromafia.

SASKIA: Krystian M. is according to the
Prosecutor's Office "an instigator...

of the m*rder had been.

He has communicated in Polish and
communicated in Dutch

with Kamil E. and with Delano G.

Did she send a picture of Peter
R. de Vries with the text underneath:

'This dog you must have.'

Would have also arranged for them to
obtained a getaway car and weapon.

Would have also arranged for them to
obtained a getaway car and weapon.

A Google Pixel phone.There are
lots of incriminating messages on it.

Which nevertheless point in the direction
of not only the performers ...

but also the drivers.

Prosecutor's Office
does not rule out...

That further arrests
will be made.

There has also been an arrest
of one Conrad.Also a Pole again.

That would have been the person
who arranged for the getaway car.

Who arranged the weapon.

The prosecution is prosecuting him
for aiding and abetting

Because he cannot be
itself can be placed.

But everyone else,including
the filmmakers,are being persecuted....

for complicity in the m*rder
of Peter R. de Vries.

VO: The defendants face a life-
long prison sentence hanging over 'em.

After the attack on Peter R. de Vries
Krystian M. is hiding...

in this apartment complex
in Moerwijk in The Hague.

in this apartment complex
in Moerwijk in The Hague.

Meanwhile, the police are getting
by Eddy's statements...

increasing insight into the criminal
career of the Polish m*rder broker.

MARTY: He's being linked
to the m*rder of Peter R. de Vries.

But also to an abduction plan....

Of a criminal drug rival
in South Limburg.

Across the Netherlands,Groningen,
Eindhoven they have been on the road...

To mistreat people,
extortion.

In addition, they are linked
to a large weapons cache

in Alphen aan den Rijn
where dozens of machine g*ns

and pistols were found.

A Polish criminal who should have been
should have been liquidated

and he would also
have to deal with.

AGENT: How was it again
about that sh**ting in Zeewolde?

An automatic
firearm.

In the process, the victim sustained
seriously injured his leg.

In the process, the victim sustained
seriously injured his leg.

JOHN: The attempted liquidation takes
takes place in the center of Zeewolde.

The victim is walking here
at the moment...

that a motorcyclist is coming
riding with a passenger on the back.

And that co-driver
immediately starts sh**ting.

The victim turns around
and runs in the direction of that alley.

But despite this, he is still
struck in the leg.

In any case, it would be
about a Pole.

And who would also be in the drug business
be in the drug trade.

Witness Eddy also knows that man,
that victim.

VO: The target is
a Polish criminal.

At issue is 27-year-old Patryk R.

The victim appears
not to have been a small boy.

He was in Poland
on an investigation list.

The story according to Eddy is even
that he stayed in the Netherlands....

in hiding for the cases
for which he was persecuted in Poland.

The victim comes here
literally tipsy...

stumbled out of an alley....

and then he walks around here dazed
around the square.

People see that and find that strange.

Trying to take care of him,
but none of it works.

He turns down any kind of help
until the saleswoman at that store...

comes up to him and leads him
to the bench...

And put him there.

It was a very beautiful day,the sun
was shining,the door was also open.

And suddenly I heard bangs.I saw
two people running in that direction.

And so the one who was shot
came running here.

I saw right away,he was injured
to his knee.

There was all this blood
and you could also see the little hole

Where the b*llet had gone in.

Where the b*llet had gone in.

I tried a couple of times
putting him down on the bench.

But he ended up not wanting any
help.Nor did he speak Dutch.

And also almost no English.So communicating
communicating also became difficult.

At one point
he was gone at once

and then he had walked that way
and that's where I heard...

That he thus collapsed.

That he had been lying on the ground
and then the ambulance came.

I was very shocked.We
closed the store as well.

Just because I didn't feel comfortable
comfortable staying here anymore.

Witness Eddy later states
that the two gunmen on the motorcycle

have fled
toward the outskirts of Zeewolde.

And there they are awaited
by Krystian M.

Eventually the victim will be
here in this spot

by ambulance personnel and police
cared for.

That's less than 100 yards
from where he was shot.

Presumably he ran away from the center
run away,because he didn't want to

Presumably he ran away from the center
run away,because he didn't want to

that the police got involved
got involved,but so it happens anyway.

Witness Eddy tells police
all the details about this attack

and those are, to say the least
very remarkable.

Because it turns out that Krystian M. was at
a store in the mall

bought gloves.

Those gloves were meant
for the perpetrators,of course....

to prevent
that they would leave marks.

Police are requesting CCTV footage
at that store

and then the statements
of Eddy are completely true.

That in turn is important
for the investigators...

because in this way Eddy's
reliability can be tested.

Krystian and Eddy discuss
that matter afterwards.

Krystian and Eddy discuss
that matter afterwards.

Krystian then indicates to Eddy: We
did use your car in the process.

So for you it may also be
be a problem.

That really doesn't sit well with Eddy.

VO: Ten days after the failed attack
in Zeewolde...

witness Eddy contacted
with the police in Ter Aar.

He refuses to get any further
into the criminal web...

of Krystian M. to be sucked in.

Eddy steps up to the police.
On the one hand, because he knows...

That he is somehow
somehow he is always there anyway.

Because the cars in his name
are used

in all kinds of crime cases.

But there is also
a kind of moral factor.

He does not want to participate
in the kidnapping...

for which Krystian asked him.

He must participate in the kidnapping
of two children

of a drug trafficker
because 90 million euros were lost

on a particular drug deal.

on a particular drug deal.

Eddy then says to his interrogators:
That's actually going too far for me.

I don't want to participate in that.

I couldn't turn back,
so I came to you.

VO: Eddy's testimony is crucial.

A day after his statement
an arrest team falls...

into the flat in The Hague.

Krystian M. and three other Poles
are arrested.

Since then, witness Eddy has been in a
protection program run by the Justice Department.

JOHN: That group seems to be
fairly played out.

But how likely is it
that in the foreseeable future we will...

yet another such group led
of a new top criminal....

get to see
or have to deal with that?

It certainly will.Organized crime,
cartels,networks is not of today.

Nor did it start
with this particular group.

There are already more
and there will be.

I would prefer to say: I want
Holland without criminals...

and 100 percent security,
but I know that doesn't exist.

and 100 percent security,
but I know that doesn't exist.

So I want in this case when it comes
about organized crime...

make our country as unattractive as possible
make it...

make it as difficult as possible
for criminals...

That it pays for nothing.

But new cartels,new networks
will continue to emerge.

And we will continue to fight them.

VO: But the drug trade continues.

And the attacks
are not over yet.

There was a m*rder in the street here.
I was very shocked by that.

In the town of Las Terrenas
Cor P. drives his white SUV....

and a scooter comes riding by
with two boys on it.

From that scooter
fire is opened on Cor.

And according to the prosecution
they are being directed

By one Jordi van der S.

I am not surprised that the name of
Boris P. is mentioned in those posts....

because he participated in the secret
talks between leaders of the Taghi cartel.

because he participated in the secret
talks between leaders of the Taghi cartel.

Here on this spot
Boris P is arrested.

This is not a country
that treats criminals kindly.
