Police dismantle cocaine network linked to Ecuador and seize 750 kilos in Antwerp
Europol and Eurojust-backed investigators dismantled the suspected import network and linked it to large cocaine seizures.
Police dismantled a suspected cocaine network importing drugs into Europe from Ecuador and other Latin American countries, with a major hit in Belgium.
Investigators linked the network to large quantities of cocaine, including a recent seizure of more than 750 kilos in Antwerp, according to Europol and Eurojust.
The operation was carried out as part of an international investigation supported by Europol and Eurojust. Investigators identified the criminal network’s role in cocaine trafficking from Ecuador and other Latin American countries to European markets.
The seizure in Antwerp provided a key verified benchmark for the scale of the alleged trafficking activity, with more than 750 kilos seized.
The operation’s latest status is that the network has been dismantled through the international investigation, with investigators continuing their work as the case develops.
