“Taghi was in shock during arrest and was just eating red wine.” Interior

The Dubai police report this to Nieuwsuur.

As a result of the conversation between the police and the television program, a considerable amount of new information about the criminal has emerged. A new photo of the 42-year-old man has also appeared. The image was allegedly made shortly after the arrest.

Ridouan Taghi would have sat on the couch watching a glass of red wine when a heavily armed police team invaded his villa. Taghi is said to have tried to escape, but failed.

“The Netherlands hardly played a role”

Jamal al-Jallaf explains to the Dutch news program that the Dutch police have hardly played a role in the investigation of Taghi: “There was hardly any cooperation with the Netherlands during the investigation.”

The head of the Dutch criminal investigation department, Andy Kaag, says that the police in Dubai “have done a good job, partly thanks to help from the Netherlands”.

According to Kaag, police work by the police in Dubai ultimately led to the arrest of Taghi: “The house corresponds to the information and analysis that we have shared with the police of Dubai. Their own investigative work eventually led them to the front door of that house. ”Kaag says this in conversation with Nieuwsuur.

Second arrest

In addition to Taghi, someone was arrested in the house on December 16. Who that is is not yet known.
