Drug trafficking and violence surge in Belgium
Belgium experiences a significant rise in drug trafficking and related criminal violence, particularly in Antwerp and parts of Brussels.
The port of Antwerp has seen a marked increase in drug trafficking activities as criminal gangs compete for dominance in the European drug trade. This has led to a surge in targeted bombings, shootings, and kidnappings, mainly affecting residents and small businesses in high-risk areas such as Antwerp and Brussels communes including Molenbeek and Anderlecht.
