A joint investigation by ‘Het Financieele Dagblad’ and Company.info shows that the firm Weski Advocaten changed ownership on 11 April. More than a week later, on April 21, Inez Weski was arrested.
The arrest of the well-known counselor who is highly respected by her colleagues caused a shock wave in the legal profession. At the moment, Weski is still stuck ‘in restrictions’, that is, she is only allowed to have contact with her lawyer.
The top Dutch lawyer is suspected of participating in a criminal organization involved in international drug trafficking and money laundering and violating secrets. The Dutch Public Prosecution Service accuses Weski of passing on information to and from her known client, the notorious Dutch drug lord Ridouan Taghi. Taghi is now her ex-client, after her arrest Weski put down the defense.
Until last month, the company Weski Advocaten was owned by the sisters Miriam (70) and Inez Weski. More than forty-five years ago, the office in Rotterdam was founded by Miriam. A few years later, Inez joined. The acquiring party last month was Luco bv, a company owned by Inez’s son Guy Weski (41). His company Luco was also founded on April 11 and has been managing Weski Advocaten ever since.
Weski is known in our country because she defended the interests of two accomplices in the large drug trial against the Aquino family.
