'' He replied during the confrontation indeed very aggressive. He wanted me to go to attack, but kicked out of my first team someone else. When he noted that bystanders saw it happen, he decided not to attack me anymore. ""
Were not you scared?
"" Beforehand we knew he was a very violent man. When they picked him in the Netherlands for trafficking and the exploitation and forced prostitution of women, they needed two squads. So it was exciting to confront him, yes. ""
