Google translated from Dutch

ZAANSTAD – Former Hells Angels leader Lysander de R. creates a reign of terror within the Zaanstad Judicial Complex. The foreman of the MC Hardliners is said to intimidate staff members and fellow inmates and manages his new club completely from prison.

Extremely concerned prison staff report this to De Telegraaf. Employees and detainees call Lysander de R. and companions who support him, including an important suspect from the Marengo liquidation process around Ridouan Taghi, the ‘Zaanstad Cartel’.

The ringleader is serving a nine-year sentence in Zaanstad for, among other things, extortion, threats and assault and arson. According to the judiciary and the court, he caused a true terror for years.

Prison staff say De R. has built up a position of power because executives are terrified of him. The Custodial Institutions Service confirms ‘incidents that are being investigated’ and says it is taking the situation extremely seriously.
