Moszkowicz had clientele, such as Dutch criminal Cor van Hout, the Surinamese military leader Dési Bouterse, diva Patty Brard, real estate magnate Willem Endstra, top criminal and gangster Willem Holleeder, politician Geert Wilders, Manchester United and Netherlands international football player Robin van Persie, the American-Dutch "Drug rehabilitation guru" and ex-TV presenter Keith Bakker[1] as well as the former friend of Talitha van Zon, on woman trafficking.[2]
Moszkowicz resigned as lawyer for Willem Holleeder in 2007.[3]
In 2010, it became known that Moszkowicz had evaded over one million Euro of income taxes in the period 2003–2006. The period 2007-2010 is still being investigated.[4]
On 30 October 2012, it was announced that he was disbarred. His appeal was rejected on 22 April 2013, which means Moszkowicz lost the right to practice law.[5]
