The Charleroi Federal Judicial Police (PJF), at the initiative of the Charleroi public prosecutor’s office and a Charleroi investigating judge, assisted by other federal judicial police and by special units, civil protection and CIK Hainaut, carried out an operation on Wednesday in the Charleroi and Liège regions against a cannabis production and trafficking network.
A meticulous investigation, carried out for more than a year, is at the origin of the police operation. “The operation does not stem from information collected after the decryption of messages exchanged in SkyECC messaging. It is nevertheless the same type of groups of authors coming from the Balkans and mostly Albanian-speaking”said the federal police.
