While on trail, Taghi ordered and succeeded in the murder of:
- the crown witness' innocent brother,
- the crown witness' lawyer, Derk Wiersum,
- investigative journalist, Dutch celebrity and confidant of the crown witness, Peter R. de Vries.
This level of violence aimed at innocents was unheard of in the Netherlands. It's what drug trafficking brings.

These guys saw their wealth was threatened, so they spent some of it to protect it.
The solution is to make sure these people don't have enough excess wealth to spend it how they do.
