Region dossier
Port of Antwerp
Europe's cocaine gate
The Port of Antwerp is the single largest cocaine entry point in Europe. Container volume, corrupted dock workers and 'uithalers' keep the flow running even as record tonnages are intercepted. Everything logged here — seizures, labs, arrests, port-linked violence — is tied to the Antwerp dock complex and the city around it.
