"Dutch Mega-Trial Ends with Life Sentence for Feared Drug Lord"
Three members of a drug cartel, including the "undisputed" ringleader Ridouan Taghi, have been sentenced to life in prison for their involvement in a series of gangland killings in the largest criminal trial in Dutch history. The trial, known as the "Marengo" case, involved 17 individuals and revealed the gang's use of sophisticated methods and corrupt officials. Taghi, a notorious fugitive, was found guilty of leading the criminal organization responsible for multiple assassinations and planned attacks. The trial also highlighted the murders of individuals close to a key witness, adding a "dark edge" to the proceedings.
