Ridouan Taghi (born 20 December 1977)[1] is a convicted[2] Moroccan-Dutch criminal who became a prime suspect in at least ten murders related to organised crime, drug trafficking and leading a criminal organisation.[3][4] On February 27, 2024, he was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment.

Until his late 2019 arrest in Dubai, Taghi was the most wanted criminal in the Netherlands with a record-breaking reward of €100,000.[1][5] In 2022 he was held at Nieuw Vosseveld, a maximum security prison in Vught and the main suspect in the Marengo trial.
