Massive 157-ton drug bust across Europe and Americas
The Belgian Federal Police announced the execution of a broad international security operation called "Atlas Nexus." The operation resulted in the seizure of 157 tons of drugs and the arrest of over 490 individuals, with the aim of dismantling drug, human, and arms trafficking networks. The operation included the confiscation of 37.6 tons of cocaine and 118.6 tons of cannabis, as well as firearms, ammunition, and explosive materials. It also led to the discovery and dismantling of Ireland's first cocaine processing laboratory and two illegal gold extraction sites in French Guiana. Over 8,680 police and judicial officials from 34 countries participated in the operation to strengthen the fight against transnational organized crime, focusing on destroying the infrastructure that supports their activities rather than relying solely on intercepting shipments.
