130 searches were conducted in Belgium on Tuesday in the so-called operation Sky, a national investigation into organized crime and drug trafficking. Report that Belgian media. It will be announced later whether any suspects have been arrested in the action. The Belgian police are looking for about eighty people and hope for dozens of arrests.
Operation Sky is a major police investigation in Belgium based on information from encrypted phones from the chat service Sky ECC. Due to a hack, detectives could read for years with messages that suspected drug criminals sent to each other via telephones. The Dutch police also used information from the cracked Sky telephones. Most of the searches were said to have been carried out in Brussels on Tuesday and would specifically target an Albanian network of drug smugglers specializing in trafficking in cocaine and other narcotics.
On Monday, ten more suspects were arrested in Belgium for importing drugs into the port of Antwerp and in March two police officers were arrested in the same investigation on suspicion of involvement in drug trafficking. Ten more arrests were made in the Netherlands on 13 October based on information from the cracked EncroChat, Sky and Anom servers.
