Five years ago, an electrician called Ali Motamed was shot and killed in Almere, just outside Amsterdam. It looked like a professional hit job - but why would anyone want to assassinate a seemingly innocent electrician? In the hours which followed, his wife told police he wasn't really Ali Motamed at all - his real name was Mohammad Reza Kolahi Samadi, and he was a wanted man in Tehran.
