Episode 501: Ridouan Taghi found guilty following Marengo trial

Notorious cocaine boss Ridouan Taghi has been jailed for life after a mammoth four year trial in Amsterdam but he leaves behind a legacy of terror that will not be forgotten into the future.


Nicola speaks with Jan Meeus, an author, podcaster and a crime correspondent with NRC in the Netherlands about the one time street dealer who, just like Pablo Escobar, took on the pillars of a state.


They discuss the criminal who formed a European Super Cartel with his friend, Irish Cartel boss Daniel Kinahan, and who believed he was totally untouchable.
