This will be the Brussels Assize Court. This man, known to be one of the biggest cocaine traffickers, should be tried for having ordered the assassination of a compatriot in Molenbeek three years ago.

On Friday November 27, 2020, Ardit Spahiu, 38, was leaving a café on rue du Condor in Molenbeek when a black Golf stopped near him. A man got out and fired a machine gun. Ardit Spahiu, known as “little Arjan”, was hit by eight projectiles. Such an execution is extremely rare in Belgium. The driver and the shooter were arrested in Germany and Spain, reports the Albanian press.

A war of clans

Ardit Spahiu belonged to an Albanian clan rival to the Capja clan led from Dubai by Franc Gergely. These two clans have been engaged in a fight to the death for several years following a shipment of cocaine was hijacked. It resulted in executions, mainly in Albania.

Vahid M, the fugitive drug lord “the craziest in Antwerp”, expelled from Dubai: coke, prostitutes, orgies… Everything Dubaiites hate!

Initially, the investigation into the murder in Rue du Condor did not see a decisive breakthrough. Investigators were able to trace the thread thanks to data collected on the Sky ECC encrypted messaging service, cracked by the Belgian judicial police in March 2021.

Investigators were thus able to create a picture of large-scale cocaine trafficking networks. On October 26, 2021, they led a gigantic raid targeting these networks, mainly Albanian, importing cocaine from South America via the ports of Antwerp and Rotterdam. The sector had laboratories, mainly in Brussels, where the cocaine was cut before being delivered to several European countries. Franc Gergely belonged to these networks, many members of which are currently on trial in Brussels in the Sky ECC maxi-trial.

A private jet

Franc Gergely was then sheltered in Dubai. Belgian justice obtained his arrest in Dubai last fall. On Saturday, he was extradited from Dubai aboard a private jet. Initially, it was planned that he would return to Belgium aboard an airliner, firmly supervised by Belgian police officers. But the pilot of this KLM flight, following an analysis, estimated that safety would not be ensured. As a result, a private jet was chartered to take him to Belgium. The plane landed on Saturday and Franc Gergely was imprisoned in Haren.

The mafioso was to be extradited by KLM airliner. The pilot refused for safety reasons. We had to charter a private jet. And it cost a lot.

The choice of Dubai for the mafiosi owes nothing to chance. Over the years, Dubai has become a refuge for the “barons” of cocaine trafficking where, sheltered from European police, they continue to pull the strings. This is particularly the case of several men wanted for having directed trafficking from Antwerp.

But judicial collaboration with the United Arab Emirates is difficult. In December 2021, former Justice Minister Vincent Van Quickenborne signed an extradition treaty with the Emirates. It was only ratified in November 2022. It therefore took 13 months for a first extradition.

And the Belgian justice system still has around ten names in sight, including Nordin El Hajjioui, alias “Dikke Nordin”, who is waiting in a Dubai prison.

There were people, even a lot of people, in the center of Brussels during the New Year festivities, a night which is traditionally hot. The transition from 2023 to 2024 was no exception, even if no extremely serious incidents were recorded.

As in previous years, a collective approach was decided. Liaison officers from the six police zones, the federal police, Siamu (Fire and Emergency Medical Aid Service), the Stib and the senior civil service were gathered at the regional crisis center to provide a coordinated response and rapid, which allows forces to be quickly dispatched to the most sensitive locations. It was the commander of the Brussels-Ixelles police zone, Michel Goovaerts, who directed the operations.

According to police counts, up to 100,000 people came to the city center. Around midnight, 55,000 people gathered to watch the fireworks. In addition, 30,000 people attended FCKNYE, a series of concerts organized at Brussels Expo, on the Heysel plateau.

In recent years, police and emergency services have been more regularly targeted by firecrackers and fireworks. It is in particular this risk which led the Region to issue an order prohibiting the possession, transport and use of firecrackers or other fireworks until January 3.

As all Brussels residents have heard, this ban was not really followed despite zero tolerance from the police. Between December 31 at 6:00 p.m. and January 1 at 6:00 a.m., the police intervened 1,276 times, which is much less than last year when there were 1,674.

A total of 206 arrests

But these interventions led to more arrests: 170 administrative arrests and 36 judicial arrests. Last year, there were 160 (139 administrative and 21 judicial). People arrested administratively are exposed to municipal administrative sanctions while the public prosecutor’s office will decide the fate of people arrested judicially.

For their part, Siamu intervened on 663 occasions: 251 firefighter interventions and 412 ambulance interventions, double that of a normal Sunday, assesses Walter Derieuw, spokesperson for the fire brigade.

There were numerous arsons: firefighters counted 32 cars set on fire as well as 14 electric bikes or scooters, 7 scooters or mopeds as well as 59 trash cans set on fire. Cars were notably set on fire at Place Lemmens in Anderlecht.

Firefighters and emergency services targeted

These are particularly delicate interventions, because, more and more – and especially during New Year’s Eve – the fire and rescue services are the object of violence. This was the case once more this year: fire engines were targeted by thrown objects or fireworks, some of which were fired horizontally towards equipment or service personnel. No count has yet been carried out. Three firefighters, targeted by firecrackers, suffer from tinnitus.

The firefighters were regularly escorted by the police to secure their intervention. The federal police alone went out 47 times to accompany the Brussels firefighters.

A hand torn off

The ban on firecrackers has not discouraged all revelers. According to a Siamu count, there were six injured, including two minors: a teenager injured in the eye and a young child in the hand. Four adults were injured by firecrackers, including two in the face. One of these four adults was seriously injured. The explosion of a firecracker or fireworks tore off his hand.

The results, although relatively heavy, remain within the norm of the previous two years. But the emergency and police services were able to benefit, in the words of Mr. Derieuw, from an “ally”: the bad weather and the rain which fell following midnight discouraged more than one person.
