The biggest player in the heroin trade at the moment is the Iranian Urfi Cetinkaya, the man in the wheelchair. Google him. One ship, 17 liquidations, a lot of corruption and mysterious deaths The Vampire Ship How the seizure of Europe's largest heroin shipment created bloody fallout throughout the world—and sparked still-raging political corruption scandals in Turkey, Greece, and the Middle East https://newrepublic.com/article/159252/vampire-ship

In the port of Rotterdam, more than 1,500 kilos of heroin was intercepted in a joint investigation by the Dutch police and the British National Crime Agency (NCA). According to the Rotterdam Public Prosecution Service, it is the largest heroin interception ever in the Netherlands.
Customs found the drugs in a container filled with Himalayan salt from Pakistan. The investigation was started after information from England. Thus, various suspects came into the picture. In the joint investigation, an address in Etten-Leur in Brabant was subsequently raided on 9 February and five men were arrested.
The lot has a street value of about 45 million euros. The drugs have since been destroyed.
In September 1,200 kilos of heroin were caught in the Netherlands . That shipment was on its way to the United Kingdom. In Felixstowe, the British also picked up more than 1.2 tonnes in February 2020 .
The previous Dutch record was 1.1 tons of heroin that was caught in Limburg in February 2017.

Huge haul. I wonder what drug smuggling organization was behind it all. What ethnicity and group? Two suspects are 62 and 60 year old men from St. Willebrord. In the hamlet 't Heike (now St .Willebrord ) were whole families since the 18th century involved in crime so it looks like traditional dutch organized crime is involved. Well, by any other name, THATS a huge, well-organized drug mob to be handling that kind of volume. Dutch huh? Wow! This volume and sophistication matches (or exceeds) anything that the Sicilians, Mexicans, Colombians, etc., have ever trafficked in. I'm impressed!

England is one of the few European countries where a lot of heroin is used and where there are many addicts.

If it's this quantity of heroin destined for the Netherlands or the UK, then it's mostly Turkish or Turkish-Kurdish organized crime involved. The strange thing in this case is the St. Willebrord connection; that's a bastion for traditional Dutch organized crime, not so much Turkish. Traditional Dutch organized crime doesn't really traffic a lot of heroin far as I know; the Dutch mostly deal in large quantities of synthetic drugs, methamphetamines, cocaine, etc...

Yeah when we talk this amount of heroin in Europe there is always a link with Chinese or the Turkish babas (members of Turkey's underworld). Istanbul has also become a safe haven for fugitive European traffickers Dubai has become more dangerous.

On Wednesday, Customs found more than 4,000 kilos of cocaine in the port of Rotterdam during an inspection. The cocaine was divided into 4,425 packages. The street value of this party is more than 300 million euros, ‘the Public Prosecution Service (OM) reported on Thursday.
The narcotics were hidden in a container from Ecuador that arrived in Antwerp on March 16. The container was intended for a fruit company in Rotterdam.
The HARC team, a partnership of Customs, FIOD, seaport police and the Public Prosecution Service in Rotterdam is investigating the case further. The drugs have since been destroyed.

I love when they put "street value" in the article. 1500 kilos of H is 45 million euros but 4000 kilos of coke is 300 million?what? That comes out to 75 grand a kilo and that is more then double, triple what they are worth.

huge grabs. that's big time dealing. it makes many of the guys in the US look like pikers It's unbelievable the amount they capture each week. ,,I know guys who import 5000 kilos here every month and export them to England. Some months they earn 100 million euros,†says a well-informed source from the criminal environment. During a check in the port of Rotterdam, customs intercepted a consignment of 3001 kilos of cocaine on Tuesday night. The street value is more than 225 million euros, the Public Prosecution Service in Rotterdam reports. The drugs were hidden in a container from Ecuador and loaded with barrels of banana puree.
