Belgium is facing the real risk of becoming a "narco-state", where organized crime is penetrating every layer of society and public institutions.

The warning comes from a senior investigating judge in the port city of Antwerp, who has published an anonymous letter on the official website of the Belgian judicial system, requesting urgent intervention from the federal government, Politico reports.

"What is happening today in our district and beyond is no longer a classic criminal issue. We are facing an organized threat that undermines our institutions," the judge wrote, according to Politico.

In his letter, he describes a reality where mafia structures have become "a parallel power" that challenges the police and justice.

"Broad, mafia-like structures have taken root, becoming a parallel power that challenges not only the police but also the judicial system," he adds.

According to the judge, drug trafficking, which mainly passes through the Port of Antwerp, is fueling an illegal economy that is contributing to rising real estate prices, administrative corruption and increased urban violence.

In Brussels alone, over 60 drug-related firearm incidents have been recorded this year – 20 of them during the summer alone, according to data cited by Politico.

In response to the situation, Belgian Interior Minister Bernard Quintin has stated that he is considering the possibility of deploying soldiers on the streets of Brussels, while the government has approved the merger of the capital's six police zones into a single structure, expected to come into effect in early 2027.

The judge warns anonymously that the main elements of a narco-state are already present in Belgium: illegal economy, corruption and violence.

“This bribery permeates our institutions. The cases I have investigated – and I am only one of 17 investigating judges in Antwerp – have led to the arrest of key port employees, customs officers, police officers, municipal employees, and even employees of the justice system, inside prisons and in this building,” he writes.

It also describes a shocking picture of digital organized crime, where orders for bombings, kidnappings or robberies can be placed via Snapchat.

"An attack on a home with explosives or weapons of war, a robbery or kidnapping, can be easily ordered online. There's no need for the 'dark web'; a Snapchat account is enough," the judge emphasizes.

The letter, published through official channels, closes with a dramatic call to action: "This is no longer a matter of public order – it is a threat to the rule of law itself," the judge concludes, according to Politico reporting.
