Who is Othman El B, king of Antwerp coke and uncle of the girl killed on Monday evening?

The 11-year-old girl killed in a shooting ‘came from the richest family in the Antwerp underworld’: here’s what we know

Asked by Gazet van Antwerpen, he promises “a reaction”. At 36, he is one of Belgium’s most notorious criminals. He is the eldest of a family whose parents came from Morocco in the 80s. He spent his childhood in the multicultural district of Borgerhout in Antwerp. He begins his criminal activity as a courier taking drugs out of the port of Antwerp. Very quickly, he set up his own network in charge of recovering cocaine and dealing for him. In 2016, he was arrested by the authorities for a story of dirty money donation to an Antwerp school. After being released on probation, he fled the country and settled in Dubai (which does not have an extradition treaty with Belgium) from where he manages his business.
