Other interventions have been implemented in recent days in Liège and Antwerp, which is one of the main doors for the entry of cocaine into Europe.

Over a thousand policemen were employed in Brussels in a massive raid against the Ndrangheta and the Albanian mafia, in an operation of a magnitude that has not been seen for some time. Belgium is one of the gateways for cocaine to Europe and the nation, considered "at high risk of mafia infiltration" by the Italian anti-mafia directorate general, and Calabrian organized crime is now rooted in a large part of the country's economic sphere, especially in the provinces of Hainaut, Liège and Limburg.
