Keylow received tens of thousands of euros in subsidies for documentary

Delano “Keylow” R. (50), prime suspect in the Eris liquidation trial against members of motorcycle club Caloh Wagoh, received tens of thousands of euros in subsidies from three funds in 2017 for a documentary that he was to present. His production company also paid him a salary of 41,000 euros. That writes AD.

Assassination Taghi

R. is the founder of the Haagse Crips of which he was president. The latter he was also of motorcycle club Caloh Wagoh, of whom about 20 members are currently on trial in the liquidation process Eris. Keylow is the main suspect in that trial and has been detained since November 2018. Justice sees him as a “murder broker” who accepted various underworld assignments and allegedly had liquidations carried out on behalf of Ridouan Taghi.

The justice department found no less than hard disks and laptops found at Keylow’s home ten million files, including many incriminating pgp chats he photographed and filmed.

According to AD, the Netherlands Film Fund, the Creative Industries Fund NL and the VSB Fund subsidized tens of thousands of euros in 2017 for a documentary in which Keylow would act as host.

New Penoze

TV channel Viceland requested a development contribution from 25.000 euro to the Fund for the project New Penoze by filmmaker Joost van der Valk. In collaboration with Keylow, the series was to be about the new underworld that, even in Keylow’s view, “has become unprecedentedly violent.” (text continues after the ads).

Turned down

The amount was paid for the documentary, but the follow-up application for realization was rejected because Vice eventually dropped out. AD writes that the VSBfonds also provided a subsidy of 13,750 euros. In September 2018, Keylow entered into a partnership with RTL and Videoland for docuseries New Penoze to house and present there.

At that time R.’s motorcycle club Caloh Wagoh was already associated by the Public Prosecution Service with various liquidations in the underworld and attacks on the buildings of Panorama and De Telegraaf. This while Keylow and RTL recorded in September 2018 that he himself would not undertake any criminal activities.

Police found scripts for two of the three scheduled episodes during a raid on Keylow. The script states that R., riding a motorbike, explains in the opening scene of the documentary that crime is becoming a growing problem.

‘It has become fierce in the Netherlands. Weeeerie, as we say in Surinamese: difficult! A lot of violence for nothing. Hey cuzz (friend), for a few thousand euros you can have someone killed, no problem. l want to show that to that one youngsters, my own kids. With this series. I want to find out what’s going on and why. This is no longer about anything. ‘

NRC wrote in February 2020 that, according to sources, Keylow could be seen in the Netflix series together with Eris suspect Willem B. (alias Worcc of Caloh Wagoh) Dope. The last episode of season 3 is called This Isn’t Miami Vice en is about the drug trade in Rotterdam. The episode has been online since June 2019.
