3.3.2. Bij het uitleveringsverzoek is overeenkomstig art. 9, derde lid onder b, van het Uitleveringsverdrag tussen het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden en de Verenigde Staten van Amerika van 24 juni 1980 (Trb. 1980, 111) (hierna: het Verdrag) het bewijsmateriaal gevoegd, zoals weergegeven in het Affidavit van 26 mei 2004, zoals afgelegd door U.S. Drug Enforcement Special Agent William J. Kivlehan tegenover de U.S. Magistrate Judge in het Southern District of New York. Voorafgaand aan de hiervoor onder 3.2 weergegeven beslissing in de einduitspraak heeft het Hof in een tussenbeslissing van 20 oktober 2004 de verzoekende Staat in de gelegenheid gesteld aanvullend bewijsmateriaal over te leggen met betrekking tot hetgeen in de Overt Acts onder a. en b. is vermeld. In reactie daarop heeft de verzoekende Staat bij brief van 2 november 2004 aan de Procureur-Generaal een verklaring doen toekomen van Neil M. Barofsky, werkzaam bij het U.S. Department of Justice, United States Attorney's Office, Southern District of New York. Deze verklaring houdt, voorzover voor de beoordeling van het middel van belang, het volgende in:
"5. In the instant matter, United States v. [de opgeëiste persoon], et al, I have become familiar with the facts of the case through written materials received from the cognizant United States Drug Enforcement Administration Special Agent
William J. Kivlehan, as well as from conversations with the agent regarding the facts and circumstances of the investigation.
6. Based on all of the facts and circumstances, I can attest that at trial, the Government will present sufficient evidence tying the defendants to the October 20, 2003 seizure of cocaine in Curaçao. Specifically, some of the evidence the Government will offer regarding the seizure will include:
a. Individual kilograms of cocaine were bundled and placed in large bags. Seven of the bags were marked with a large black "M." This signified that these bags were destined for [de opgeëiste persoon], the defendant, whose nickname was
"[naam 1]." Inside these bags, the kilograms were marked with "[naam 4]," the nickname of [betrokkene 4], the defendant, who is the son of [de opgeëiste persoon], the defendant.
b. The kilograms of cocaine that were seized during the October 20, 2003 seizure bore imprints of certain images, included camels and other insignia. On or about March 3, 2004, [de opgeëiste persoon] and [betrokkene 1], the defendants, had a telephone communication where they discussed the storage and distribution of approximately 238 kilograms of cocaine. Part of their discussion made reference to "camels." After the arrest of [betrokkene 1] on March 15, 2004, law enforcement agents seized a list that corresponded to the intercepted telephone conversation which included references to camels. I have been informed that when cocaine is prepared in Colombia by a certain manufacturer, that manufacturer will brand the cocaine by putting an imprint on the kilogram. This evidence shows that the source of supply for the [...] Organization in March 2004 was the same source of supply that supplied the kilograms of cocaine that were seized on October 20, 2003. Under United States law, these manufacturers of cocaine are coconspirators of the defendants.
c. One of the individuals arrested at the scene of the seizure of the cocaine on October 20, 2003, was [betrokkene 2], the brother of [betrokkene 3], a/k/a "[naam 2]," and [betrokkene 1], the defendants. He was arrested while driving a vehicle belonging to [betrokkene 1]. [Betrokkene 2] was carrying a cellular telephone at the time of his arrest. In the telephone book of the cellphone were the telephone numbers of [de opgeëiste persoon], a/k/a "[naam 1]," a/k/a "[naam 3]," [betrokkene 5], a/k/a "[naam 6]," [betrokkene 4], a/k/a "[naam 4]," a/k/a "[naam 5]," and [betrokkene 3], a/k/a "[naam 2]," [betrokkene 1], the defendants. While there were no active intercepts of the defendants at this time, analysis of toll records shows that on the day and evening of the arrest there were numerous calls between [betrokkene 2] and [betrokkene 1], [betrokkene 3], and [betrokkene 4]. In particular, there were a large number of calls between [betrokkene 4] and [betrokkene 2] immediately prior to [betrokkene 2]'s arrest. Minutes after the arrest, there were a series of telephone calls between [betrokkene 1], [betrokkene 3], [betrokkene 4] and [betrokkene 5], presumably during which they discussed the seizure. There was also a long call between [betrokkene 4] and a number in Colombia associated with [de opgeëiste persoon] (he was subsequently intercepted using this Colombian telephone number when he travelled to Colombia). It is believed that [de opgeëiste persoon] was in Colombia at the time of the seizure. After that call, [betrokkene 4] never used that cellular telephone again.
It is common for drug traffickers to stop using a particular cellular telephone after drugs belonging to them are seized.
7. I can attest that it is my belief that the foregoing evidence, under United States law, will be fully admissible at trial and sufficient to link the defendants in this case to the seized cocaine."
