Belgian and French authorities, supported by Eurojust, have carried out an operation targeting suspected money laundering linked to drug trafficking profits. As a result of the cooperation, eight people were detained. Authorities also seized more than EUR 8 million. The detained people are suspected of laundering several million euros through a business based in Brussels. Investigators allege that the operation involved moving and concealing proceeds connected to drug trafficking. The case has been handled through judicial cooperation between Belgium and France, organised via Eurojust, the EU agency that helps coordinate cross-border investigation and prosecution. The eight people detained in the operation are accused in connection with the suspected laundering activity, but detention does not mean guilt. The source describes them as suspects only, with the laundering allegations tied to funds prosecutors say were connected to French drug trafficking profits. The Eurojust news release does not provide further details about the specific measures used, the exact amounts linked to each suspect, or the status of any court proceedings at this stage.
