Former terror suspect arrested again

-

The Apprehensi­on Team arrested former terror suspect Raoul A around 8 pm on Friday. Defense attorneys Murwin Dubois and Michella Lau-Kerrsenber­g told Times of Suriname that their client would most likely be deported. Dubois pointed out that the special police unit did not mention the reason why the man was arrested. He also pointed out that the policemen failed to identify themselves. Raoul A was recently released from jail. He has the Dutch nationalit­y but did not have an illegal status during his detention. After his release he was ordered to report to Immigratio­n Services. Dubois is puzzled by the second arrest of his client because his client had been given the opportunit­y to get his affairs in order. Raoul’s relatives contacted two police stations but did not get any informatio­n. Last week Raoul A was found guilty of being part of a terror organizati­on in the period 2015 to 2017 and breaking the law on Firearms. He was acquitted of preparing and/or promoting acts of terrorism, financing terrorism and recruiting one or multiple people for an armed jihad. Lau-Kerssenber­g criticized the authoritie­s for having her client arrested in this manner to be deported. The defense attorneys made it clear that they would spare no efforts in preventing the deportatio­n of their client. Unconfirme­d reports indicated that the man was taken to the internatio­nal airport and put on Friday’s flight to Amsterdam.
