No bullet injuries therefore, but according to the Brussels prosecutor’s office, a lady was knocked down by the car of the suspects, who were fleeing. They also hit several others during the run. vehicles. The mayor gives news of the person knocked down: “She is a lady in her seventies, she was taken to hospital, but her life is not in danger.”

Jean Spinette evokes turf wars for drug trafficking, in an increasingly complicated context: “I assume that the protagonists in the drug world compete for areas. This is a phenomenon that involves organized crime, it is no longer a small local deal. We are taken hostage by drug trafficking.“He even suspects that the facts are.”an extension of last week’s phenomenon“.
