Dutch police have arrested a man suspected of organising the murder last year of a leading crime reporter.

Peter R de Vries, 64, died nine days after he was shot in the head outside an Amsterdam TV studio last July, a crime that prosecutors say was linked to his role in the trial of a Dutch drugs mafia kingpin.

The public prosecution service identified the person arrested as a 27-year-old Polish man and said he was “suspected of directing those who murdered De Vries”.
