Breitbart News reported in September that the Belgian government was set to deploy its military to Brusells to combat drug gangs in response to the increasingly violent situation in the nation’s multicultural capital. The Guardian noted that, a month later, the Antwerp court published an open letter from an anonymous judge in October.
In its text, written in Dutch, the judge warned that extensive mafia structures had taken hold in Belgium, “becoming a parallel force that challenges not only the police, but the judiciary,” potentially placing the country at risk of evolving into a narco-state.
“We are becoming a state with a lot of corruption, with a lot of threats,” Guido Vermeiren, prosecutor general for the Antwerp and Limburg regions, told The Guardian, and added that he agreed with the anonymous judge’s letter. |
