A man accused of a number of murders as head of one of Europe’s most feared drug gangs has reportedly told a Dutch court he will represent himself after the arrest of his lawyer over claims she helped him communicate from his prison cell.
Ridouan Taghi, who has been standing trial since 2021 with 16 other alleged members of a Dutch-Moroccan drug gang, lost his lawyer, Inez Weski, after her arrest last month on suspicion of collaborating with a criminal organisation.
