Organized crime: Albanian-speaking networks are expanding in Belgium
Belgium is facing a significant evolution in the field of drug trafficking. According to recent information, criminal groups from the Albanian-speaking community are quietly strengthening their presence on Belgian territory.
These organizations are no longer content with traditional circuits. They now specialize in the large-scale importation of cannabis, coming directly from regions such as California or Canada. This new strategy demonstrates a significant logistical capacity to bypass usual controls.
Belgian authorities are closely monitoring this phenomenon, which testifies to the growing internationalization of organized crime. These networks use sophisticated methods to transport drugs and avoid attracting the attention of law enforcement when entering European soil.
The fight against these groups represents a major challenge for the police and the justice system in Belgium. International cooperation has become essential to dismantle these networks, which use Belgian ports and logistical infrastructure as entry points to the rest of Europe.
