The Public Prosecution Service wants two men to go to jail for eight years for preparing the murder of Ayla Mintjes in Slotervaart. They were caught when they tried to stick a beacon under the car of her friend Anis B. in the Maassluisstraat.

A few days after their arrest for attempted burglary, the car was under fire while B. and Mintjes were in it. Mintjes survived that shooting not† It is believed that B. the actual target was† According to the OM, the two men are not the gunmen, but they did know that a liquidation would take place. Furthermore, they would have followed Mintjes, who drove in B.’s car, earlier. She realized that and wrote down the license plate.

“Together the spotters, sticklers and hitters get the job done”

“The planners contribute to the eventual liquidation and also make the implementation of the plan possible,” the public prosecutor said in court this afternoon. “This involves interchangeability of roles. After all, the spotters, sticklers and hitters together ensure that the task is completed. And the suspects have fulfilled that role.”
Both men admitted today that they did indeed try to break into the garage and stick a beacon under the black Mercedes. But the client would have said that it was necessary for another reason. Mintjens’ friend would still owe money for an investment in a batch of intercepted cocaine. His car would therefore have to be stolen and he would then have to buy the car back and thereby pay off the debt that has arisen.

“If a transport has failed, something more than just a collection happens regularly”

It was a statement that the judges also had questions about. “Do you ever read newspapers about crimes?” one of them asked. “Then you also know that it regularly happens that if a transport has failed, something more than just collection happens. That didn’t occur to you?”
The lawyers wanted their clients, who have been in custody for many months, to be acquitted. They pointed out that a 23-year-old man who last year managed to stick a beacon under a car used by Anis B. did not get a prison sentence† According to them, the attempt to stick the beacon by the two in the Maassluisstraat would be completely unrelated to the eventual fatal shooting. “There is no link between those two things,” attorney Eric Steller said.
The court will rule on April 15. The possible shooters will be tried later.
