The Brussels prosecutor publicly expressed his concern regarding the increase in crime associated with drug trafficking in the Belgian capital.

The official warned that anyone can be targeted due to activities related to drug trafficking, underscoring the widespread risk that this criminal activity represents for the population.

Since the beginning of 2025, 170 shootings have been recorded in the Brussels region, reflecting the gravity of the security situation in the capital.

Belgian authorities thus face a significant challenge in combating organized crime linked to the trafficking of illicit substances.
