The shootings linked to drug trafficking which have taken place these days in Brussels, but also before in other cities, in Antwerp in particular, are, as the Minister of Justice estimated, a sign that the mafia of drugs is under pressure and nervous in the face of the work of Justice and the police?

This is not the opinion of Michel Claise, a former investigating judge who joined the ranks of DéFI. “For me, the disarray exists more on the side of the police and on the side of the political world.“, reacts Michel Claise. For the latter, “criminal organizations have never been so rich and have never benefited so much from this feeling of impunity“. For former judge Claise there is a “lack of means in relation to the repression that should be exercised” with regard to these criminal organizations.

Michel Claise highlights the “exceptional wealth available to criminal organizations. According to him, this is evidenced by the results of the Sky ECC investigation and the elements of the current Encro trial.You have, I would say, 1000 tonnes per year which can pass through the port of Antwerp. From time to time, 100 tonnes are seized. But a gram of cocaine is sold for €50 pure. Can you imagine the financial product that this represents? And it’s been going on for years“, explains Michel Claise. And he adds, it is not only the port of Antwerp through which drugs transit, because the phenomenon is European. There are also the ports of “Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Brest, Marseille and as far as Piraeus“

Mafias of Moroccan, Albanian, Marseille origin… “All circles, in reality, occupy the field“, adds Michel Claise. “I think we’ve completely lost the reins. It’s been years since we, the professionals, denounced it“, estimates Michel Claise who returns to this call from several magistrates including himself, a few years ago. “We were sounding the alarm by saying, do you realize that we are, in terms of criminal organization, witnessing an economic takeover?“, recalls Michel Claise. “At the time, the Prime Minister was offended by saying that, he can’t say it, he has to prove it. Four years later, I think we’ve proven it enough“, estimates the former investigating judge.
