This arrest “was made at the request of the Netherlands”, they specify.
Faissal T. is the eldest son of Ridouan T., 45, born in Morocco but raised in the Netherlands, according to Dutch public television.

Ridouan T. and his accomplices are accused of six murders and four attempted murders. The prosecution requested life imprisonment once morest him. He is accused of having led an international organized crime organization, whose roots are partly in the Benelux, and commonly called “Mocro Maffia” because of the Moroccan origins of several of its members. The term actually refers to a set of criminal groups.
He was arrested in Dubai in 2019, and extradited to the Netherlands shortly following. Faissal T. is suspected of being part of a criminal gang linked to drug trafficking but also of being involved in money laundering operations and the preparation of violent crimes, according to prosecutors. “He has been detained since his arrest,” they added, ensuring that they were “totally confident regarding the continuation of the extradition procedure.”
