In January 2024, Karim Bouyakhrichan was arrested in the Spanish city of Marbella.
(Karim Buyahrikan)
Hearing the news, the Dutch royal family breathed a long sigh of relief.
Can get the attention of the royal family, who is this Karim?
Karim, nicknamed Taxi, is 46 years old, Europe's most wanted man and one of the leaders of the Mocro Maffia.
The so-called Mocro mafia refers to a criminal organization composed mainly of Moroccans.
These organizations trade drugs in large quantities in Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands and Belgium, and their networks are spread throughout the continent and they are major players in the European drug trade.
Karim is the second largest organization of the Mokro mafia, and the current leader of the Buyakrikan group.
His brother Samir founded the Buyahrikan group, which Karim inherited after being shot. Through his work with Colombian drug traffickers, he has shipped billions of dollars worth of drugs to Europe over the past fifteen years.
In addition to this, Karim also directs money laundering operations across Europe, the Middle East, and Morocco. According to police charges, he carried out money laundering by buying 172 properties worth 50 million euros in Spain.

With the support of the entire criminal empire, Karim has also truly become rich and powerful.
It is said that he is worth hundreds of millions of dollars and has property all over the world.
What's even more terrifying is that he even began to pose a threat to the royal family.
During a state visit to Sweden by the Dutch royal family, the Dutch royal family mentioned in a meeting that Princess Amalia of the Netherlands was taking refuge.
The police later revealed that, according to their tips, Princess Amalia and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte had both appeared in the communications of the Buyakrikan group, indicating that they were likely to be the target of kidnapping or assassination......
Because of this, the princess was forced to suspend her studies from school, return to her high-security residence, and secretly fled to Spain for at least a year.

In such a situation, Karim is a natural target of Interpol.
In the end, it took Interpol five years to finally arrest Karim and five other men in January this year, the process of which the police did not disclose, but it is believed that it must have been difficult.
After Karim's arrest, everyone from the Dutch royal family to the common people breathed a sigh of relief, and even several mafia gangs took a breath of relief and stopped the war, which can be said to be a great joy.
(Karim arrested)
But just two days ago, he was actually released!
This is even more outrageous.
When Karim was arrested by the Spanish police, the Dutch authorities filed an extradition request (Karim grew up in the Netherlands and had his criminal headquarters in the Netherlands), which was also approved by the Madrid National Court (Spanish Supreme Court).
However, the local government where Karim was imprisoned was not happy, why should you try the people we arrested?
They appealed, demanding that Karim must be charged with money laundering by Spain before he could be extradited.
This forced the Dutch authorities to file an appeal, emphasizing that Karim had caused dozens of deaths in the Netherlands, Spain and Morocco, and that "money laundering" had to be ranked after "murder" and "drug trafficking".
This time, the district court agreed, but for some reason, they accepted the extradition order from the Dutch authorities, ignoring the detention order (requiring that the extradition be held without parole until the extradition was completed).
Taking this opportunity, Karim's lawyer came up with a snack:
He questioned the court, there is no trial yet, there is no evidence to prove that Karim is a heinous crime, why should he be locked up and not released on bail?
The district court thought about it, and it was right, so it asked Karim to pay a bail of 50,000 euros and let him go......
Put......
(Karim in prison)
Of course, the magistrate was not stupid, and in order to prevent Karim from escaping, in addition to the 50,000 euros bail, he confiscated Karim's passport and demanded that he must come to the court every 15 days to report.
Without a passport, he can't go abroad, so it's all safe!
Karim agreed.
After a while, Karim did report on time.
Until April 1, Karim did not come.
Isn't it April Fool's Day, Karim made a little joke?
As a result, Karim never appeared again......
("Is he here today?" "No, ......")
In this way, the big drug lord who spent 5 years arrested by Interpol "successfully escaped from prison", and how many people's hard work was burned.
A spokesman for the Dutch prosecutor's office could only say that the reason for Karim's release from prison was "unknown", but he added that the Dutch and Spanish judicial systems are "generally good" and that dozens of suspects are successfully extradited each year.
I don't know what was going on in his mind when he said this......
Netizens were also dumbfounded by this operation:
"Unexpected"
"I bet the officials also 'unexpectedly' received a check. ”

"So...... Can you promise to be back by five o'clock in the afternoon? Let's go hook!"

"Did the court not bother to let him go by typing his name (Bouyakhrichan) every day?"

"I just hope that the person in charge doesn't blame himself too much, and doesn't define his entire career by just one moment~
Take a deep breath and tell yourself: 'Not so lucky today, tomorrow will be better!'"

It can only be said that the most panicked person now is the Dutch princess Amalia.
In February of this year, when Karim was first arrested, Amalia opened up for the first time about her journey in hiding for the year:
"I miss the normal life, the student life, wandering around the streets, going to the store, ....."
As a result, just two months after he was on the loose, Karim came out again, and it is estimated that Amalia's heart is broken.....
Okay, let's look forward to how this farce will end up......
