Belgium’s capital saw a vast anti-drug operation with many dramatic arrests. Federal Police in Brussels dismantled a highly organized multi-level drug network today.

Tuesday’s raids struck network members hard, targeting organized criminal group operations directly.

Authorities detained twenty-seven individuals, issued eleven arrest warrants, seizing large quantities. Confiscated items included marijuana, cocaine, illicit drugs, thousands of euros, and firearms.

Months of detailed investigation involving various police units enabled this significant breakthrough. Officials call the breadth of this action vital against Brussels’ organized crime network.
