Last January, a private jet carrying a ton of cocaine was intercepted at Brussels National Airport. Four employees, now charged, facilitated the transport. As surprising as it may seem, the Brussels council chamber decided on Thursday to release one of the accused under an electronic bracelet.
Why the fight once morest cocaine trafficking in the port of Antwerp is a failure
“Our client will be released from Haren prison in the next few days. This judgment is totally unexpected. He did a month in prison for a ton of cocaine and will soon be released”, explain the lawyers.
The case broke following the dismantling of the Sky Ecc encrypted messaging system. “Criminal organizations paid up to 2400 euros to have access to the application for six months to avoid detection. Among the thousands of communications which might be intercepted, one made it possible to trace this particular traffic at Zaventem airport”, continues one of our sources.
The private jet was from Brazil and airport workers facilitated the landing lanes on the tarmac before unloading the bags filled with cocaine in a specific location, in exchange for several hundred thousand euros. “The income generated by this traffic is colossal because a kilogram of cocaine is sold at 30,000 euros, so by totaling the transport, it comes to 30 million euros,” adds our contact.
”In concrete terms, Albanian associations are looking for small hands to whom they provide telephones with the Sky ECC application. They organize the traffic with the local production sites in South America, in this case Brazil”, we still specify.
The council chamber will consider the fate of the three other defendants next week.
