Organized crime in The Netherlands is flourishing in tandem with the cocaine trade. A key witness is shot dead, along with his lawyer. A journalist is murdered in downtown Amsterdam. The drugs mafia earns billions and deploys increasingly brutal tactics.
For years the Dutch authorities thought they had this so-called Mocro mafia under control. But at the latest with the murder of journalist Peter R. de Vries, it has become clear that organized crime is shaking The Netherlands to its very core. “It’s a battle for power and billions. It’s about killing, to avoid being killed,” says the well-known Dutch lawyer Vito Shukrula.
Recent years have seen a dramatic rise in the amount of cocaine being smuggled through the ports of Rotterdam, Antwerp and Hamburg. With profits running into the billions, mafia gangs mainly operating from The Netherlands find it easy to bribe individuals at key points in the chain. For example, a crane driver at a port can earn 100,000 Euros for moving just one container to a particular position. For years now, investigators have used all the means at their disposal to expose and cut the supply lines. Several raids found weapons and huge hauls of drugs; many suspects were taken into custody.
The biggest trial in the history of The Netherlands has been going on since March 2021. In the dock at the Marengo trial: several leading members of the Mocro Mafia accused of murder. The cases highlight the extreme brutality of a criminal network that’s pushing the state to its limits. The reportage accompanies investigators going about their work at the port of Rotterdam, talks to defendants’ lawyers, meets former drugs couriers as well as the journalist Peter R. de Vries, who was later murdered. The story is one of corruption and violence.

Fckn hell, can you guys pls stop the voiceovers and just do subs? Im Dutch myself and this is very annoying to listen to because my bilangual brain gets scrambled…
What has Europe come to.. Liberalisation and influx on immigrants has caused this…
Execution of drug traffickers and mafia is the only solution. Don’t rant about education and minority upliftment and bs. soon Europe will go down the drain.
WHEN YOU SNORTING COCAINE THATS WHAT WILL HAPPEN VILOLENT CRIMES'
But cocaine is a tool for young business men competing. Do a bump of coke and you perform better than the rest, For a while. Use Responsibly. haha
Bring in execution. Stamp out these vermin!!
laws need to change and fast concerning illegal drugs making it easier to prosecute dealers and importers of the drugs and make prison sentences fit the crime. Some south American and Asian countries have very long sentences in harsh conditions for crimes involving illicit drugs, this should be world wide, making offenders think hard before committing these crimes. even just making it easier to find these crooks guilty would help a lot.
wtf…vito drives a 100.000€ car … cant speak english and its a freaking self player …. cmon ….
Why the Netherlands is such a magnet for cocaine distribution? Is it the 'coffee shops' or is it the port of Rotterdam? I would prefer it was the latter, and nothing to do with the tolerance of soft drugs. Anyway the Dutch are a remarkable people and always seem to find solutions – that's why they are not under water. The real challenge for them is to prevent corruption ever getting a foothold. If that happens, it is risks becoming a narco state. But I don't think that is likely.
Τώρα ότι κόκκινη πιάνετε να την πουλάτε στον Πούτιν μήπως ανοίξει το αέριο για να ζεσταθητε ΧΑ ΧΑ
And as always its a problem that CAME to Europe with the good good people we have let in to "HELP them". Der klügere gibt nach bis er der dümmere ist. -.-
Let.me tell You how business work, behind this mafia drugs are persons from the goverment, police bosses , FBI bosses etc. Without them this drugs fenomen will nota exist anymore. The same shit happens with prostitute, Guns traffic, organs trafic. All of this are supported by the persons from this institutions involved in this business
In this aspect, one should just look to Singapore or China. Zero tolerance for people making, selling or using cocaine. Death penalty for drug traffickers.
Coke trade is in hand of serbian mafia last 40 years
I want to grow coca in greenhouses in unlikely locations. It could be based af lol.
You buy – They die.
Not enough focus is on the scum that buy.
If you know what it causes and buy anyway, you are no better than the cartels and deserve the same fate.
You buy – They die.
biggest waste of money ever, war on drugs, but of course these people dont want to lose their jobs so they will say otherwise. We all know 99% gets through, its not worthg the 1% they are catching for the billions its costing.
Legalize it, tax it ,stop the criminal elements desire to kill for it. I mean didn't you guys do it with marijuana first?
The unfortunate thing is nefarious members of government (America is just one example) are aligned with drug cartels and this is how this continued cycle occurs. Do what Portugal does with drug policies for the ordinary citizen (drugs are an escape from this crazy world) and aim for the cartels instead.
LoL no results means the government is in league with evil
It is possible to increase the security in the port area. More cameras, AI to scan trough the footage, drones in the water to check the ships, you could even outsource part of that labor to offset part of the cost. You could increase security and checks with the freights companies. You cannot catch everything, but you can have everything on record. You can have IOT sensors everywhere. One camera in every container. It's not too much to ask.
Honestly these filth should be killed without a trial their guilt is already apparant so just get rid of them they are vermin
I think that we all should be very vigilant of the substance abuse around us.
