Bilthoven – Five men and a woman who, according to the Public Prosecution Service, were part of a large explosive raid organization were intensively observed and tapped by the Dutch and German police months before their arrest. This became apparent on the first day of the trial against the six, who, according to the Public Prosecution Service, together formed a criminal organization that was involved in preparing and committing explosive attacks in Germany. The fact that they were looking for a way to open ATMs that were difficult to crack, eventually proved fatal to the group. The Utrechter, who would have been the alleged leader of the organization, was eventually killed.
