On Friday, October 25th, the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf reported that Ridouan Taghi, a Dutch-born Moroccan ethnic drug dealer and gang leader, and the most wanted criminal in the Netherlands, not only had ties with the Khomeinist regime’s intelligence services, but was also involved in the assassinations of two Iranian dissidents in Holland. Furthermore, Taghi is believed by Dutch intelligence to have been provided sanctuary by the Islamic regime.
The 42-year-old Taghi, runs an international network smuggling cocaine from Latin America into Europe and partners with Irish organized crime, the Sicilian Mafia, and Serbian gangsters. He is wanted for multiple murders, of at least 20 people, including members of his own family, such as his brother-in-law, whom he felt had betrayed him. The Dutch authorities have offered a €100,000 reward for his capture.
Taghi’s links to Iran were discovered during the investigation into the assassination of Mohammad-Reza Samadi-Kolahi, near Amsterdam, in December 2015.The Khomeinist regime had accused Samadi-Kolahi, under the alias Ali Motamed, to have been a member of the Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK, MKO, PMOI or NCRI) and involved in a 1981 bombing where several Khomeinist regime leaders were killed.
Dutch police and prosecutors said that the two men who shot Motamed, were hired hitmen who had been paid €13,000 by an unknown source to kill Samadi Kolahi and claimed to have no knowledge of who they were killing or why. Later it was revealed that the two had been hired by notorious Amsterdam criminal, Naoufal “The Belly” Fassih, also known as Noffel. A Morrocan drug dealer and associate of Taghi’s, Dutch police believe Fassih’s links to Tehran were forged through his relations with Richard Eduardo Riquelme Vega, a Chilean cocaine dealer who also works with Taghi, and is also alleged to be tied to Khomeinist intelligence.
Now, according to the above-mentioned newspaper report, Taghi is living mostly in Dubai, in a safehouse given to him by Tehran’s intelligence, while also making frequent trips to Iran on a private yacht also owned by regime intelligence. The Dutch authorities are said to negotiating Taghi’s arrest with the government of the United Arab Emirates.
The Islamic regime’s role in international drug trafficking has long been documented, especially in regard to its working relationship with Latin American and European criminal gangs, and asserted by various governments as well.
The regime is also known to have resumed its practice of killing its opponents living in Europe. Several plots have been foiled by police in the Netherlands, France, Denmark, and Albania over the past year; and just last week, it was announced that a regime intelligence agent who was also involved in Motamed’s assassination had been arrested in Sweden, plotting to kill another opposition figure.
