672 kg of cocaine seized in the Port of Antwerp, one Albanian and 4 Belgians

Five people were arrested in an operation near the port of Antwerp in Belgium where a large quantity of cocaine was seized.
This was announced by the Antwerp public prosecutor's office. The arrested are 4 Belgians and 1 Albanian.

Customs officers found a shipment of 672 kilograms of cocaine in a container loaded with coffee originating from Colombia. The public prosecutor's office announced that the seizure occurred as part of a long investigation.

The investigation identified a 29-year-old man who allegedly belonged to an organization that planned to traffic a cocaine shipment. The group wanted to pick up the drug after it arrived at the port, and the local Antwerp police were able to find out where and when this would happen.

Several police forces worked together to seize the container in question. Four suspects were also arrested during this operation.

In the next phase, the 5th arrest took place. Security measures were also imposed on the suspects by the investigating judge.

They are suspected of drug trafficking in collaboration. The drugs were destroyed after the arrest.
