Edin G. is considered a notorious member of the 'supercartel' and must still serve a seven-year sentence in the Netherlands.

The Bosnian Edin G., who grew up in Breda, is considered a notorious member of the 'supercartel' and must still serve a seven-year sentence in the Netherlands. According to media in Bosnia, G. will not be extradited at all, but was even released last Tuesday. Dubai is said to have decided on his release 'for formal reasons'.

The National Public Prosecution Service says it knows nothing about it. "We have only known that he was arrested at our request. An extradition request has been made to Dubai," said a spokesperson after G's arrest. The Public Prosecution Service announced on Monday evening that it was not aware of the release. G.'s lawyer Leon van Kleef refuses to comment.

Noise between Dubai and the Netherlands about Edin G.
The uncertainty surrounding the alleged arrest and release of Edin G. is yet another 'case of serious noise' in the communication between Dubai and the Netherlands. G. is considered one of the leaders of the so-called Super Cartel, which according to the judiciary also includes the Taghi family, Rico R, alias the Chilean, and mafia leader Raffaele Imperiale.

After G. was arrested during a major police operation in Dubai in 2022, the Bosnian from Breda was also released quickly. This led to parliamentary questions from Member of Parliament Ulysse Ellian of the VVD.

Negotiations then took place between the Dutch Public Prosecution Service and G.'s lawyers, who ultimately reached a deal with each other. G. was sentenced to seven years but simply stayed in Dubai, where he leads a life of luxury. G.'s lawyer Leon van Kleef says he does not want to comment "because this is not in the interest of his client".
