  5. 1. Belgium has become a key hub for importing cocaine from South America into Europe. Bananas are a very popular way to smuggle cocaine from Latin America to Europe because they are one of the main products that Latin America countries export to Europe.
    2. In 2021 over 100 tons of cocaine were seized in Belgium. On average 12 million containers move in and out of Antwerp each year and only around two percent of containers are physically checked by the authorities. It's impossible for them to search millions of containers and this is what the traffickers are depending on.
    3. in the 1990s and 2000s the Balkans endured years of war and conflict the destruction of economies pushed some towards crime. The Balkan mafias have taken the knowledge of violence and toleration for violence from the Balkan War they had access to weapons they had language skills criminal groups from the Western Balkans have proved to be very entrepreneurial from heroin cannabis cultivation.
    4. The head of Customs freely admits to traffickers have bribed Port official to turn a blind eye to Containers full of cocaine. Some police officers were arrested for helping smugglers.
