How a small fire led to the largest drug trial ever with no fewer than 129 defendants: “All those messages on Sky ECC, that’s 99% just blah blah” | Brussels

Replies will take place tomorrow in the monster trial on cocaine trafficking in our country before the Brussels criminal court. Only after four months, because no fewer than 129 defendants are together in the unique file. A Belgian record indeed, thanks to a huge cocaine trade from South America that was discovered by Sky ECC and several Belgian ‘laboratories’. However, the discovery of the network happened completely by chance. “Cracked messages show that a top suspect wondered whether it would be better to liquidate someone in an apartment or villa.”
