eight people related to the world of drug trafficking have been arrested for their relationship with a alleged plot to murder al chief prosecutor of Brussels, Julien Moinil, who has been under police protection since last July.
According to a statement from the Belgian Prosecutor’s Office, the arrests took place this Tuesday after carrying out around twenty searches, mainly in Brussels.
The suspects have judicial records linked to organized drug trafficking and operated “within the Albanian criminal environment”.
The case dates back to last summer, when the Federal Prosecutor’s Office received the first information from the Police pointing to the organization of a possible attack against Moinil and the investigation was launched, under the tutelage of an investigating judge to analyze in detail all the data collected.
The Prosecutor’s Office warns in its statement that it is still premature “confirm or deny” that the plan to attack the Brussels Prosecutor was going to be carried out and clarifies that it will be the judge who decides whether the detainees should continue to be deprived of their liberty.
Brussels has been hit in recent years by violence related to drug gangs and authorities have stated that More than 100 of Europe’s most dangerous criminal networks operate in Belgium.
It must be remembered that last February the authorities had to close several Brussels metro stations to search, without success, for two suspects after a shooting with Kalashnikov rifles related to drug traffickers.
This incident paralyzed traffic on the busy Brussels metro, which houses many European Union institutions and NATO headquarters.
