Dutch Crime Boss Arrested in Spain for 2016 DJ Murder Mix-Up

The Moroccan missed his target in October 2016 and shot Djordy Latumahina, a famous DJ from the Dutch capital, instead of Naoufal Fassih, known as Nofell, one of the biggest criminals in the Netherlands. Actively wanted since then, he was finally arrested in Malaga by agents of the Central Operational Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard and placed in detention on the orders of the judge. The operation was carried out in coordination with the Dutch police, the Civil Guard said in a statement released on Sunday. In total, seven people were arrested in the Netherlands in this case and sentenced to more than 30 years in prison.

An investigation was opened, with the collaboration of the Civil Guard, which showed that members of the fugitive’s family had recently settled in properties belonging to them in Malaga. These properties were under intense police surveillance for weeks, to no avail. But the agents noted that significant security measures were being taken by the occupants of one of them and suspected the presence of the fugitive. The latter was finally arrested on May 23 by the Rapid Action Group (GAR) of the Civil Guard.
