In the Colombian city of Cali on Thursday a man with Dutch nationality was shot dead in the street. The man with two others left a barbershop when he came under fire. There were three perpetrators on a motorcycle. After the shooting the motorcycle drove away at high speed. The two others escaped in a car that was waiting on the corner. The Dutchman has been identified by police his passport as Micah Jonah. He arrived in Cali from Bogotá after a flight from Amsterdam. A companion was injured and treated in hospital. There, police found that this was Jonathan Vinnie Van Maanen Baena, of Colombian-Dutch nationality. The third person in the group is missing. According to authorities Micah Jonah regularly traveled to Colombia recently.

While the Netherlands gets flooded by cocaine and has the image of a "narco-state", customs in the port of Rotterdam is heavily cut.

"We are now up to our ankles in the coke and later up to the armpits," said one of the members of the now severely distressed OSODT, the main unit of the customs that include dealing with surveillance in the port area.

Of the 150 men who counts the armed wing of the inspection and investigation, almost half is shut down. The intensity of controls will be reversed.

In the last twelve months in our country and in Belgium almost 35,000 kilos of cocaine was intercepted destined for the Dutch market. Never before have so many been discovered.

The gangland murder wave raging in the Netherlands is almost completely cocaine-related.

Craziness, in TWELVE MONTHS, 35000 kilos.
That a billion seven hundred fifty million, WHOLESALE VALUE, NOT EVEN RETAIL.. Fuckin ridiculous numbers....

holy shit, 35,000 keys in 12 months. Well somebody certainly didn't have a great year

The seizures are now about 25% of the total amount.

And Customs is planning to scale back on inspecting and checking cargo..

So they are also going to use less divers to check under the ships.

It makes you wonder how much coke they actually ship if they can afford to lose 1.75 billion dollars worth of coke (70 billion ballpark retail!!!)

The dutchman Michael Johnson who was shot dead in Cali, Colombia in September was a gang leader who worked with the Sinaloa cartel according to the Colombians.

Colombian police arrested the dutch narco Robert V., alias El Holandés, El Mono, with 9 Colombians in a drug investigation. The group is suspected of 18 cocaine shipments from Colombia to Central America and Europe. V. was arrested in the town Ansermanuevo, in the department of Valle del Cauca. The other suspects were arrested in Medellin, Santa Marta, Barranquilla, Cartagena and Ciénaga. Ten transports sailed to ports in the United Kingdom, Belgium and the Netherlands, how much is not clear. The Public Prosecution Service estimates the value of sales in Europe and Central America about 311 million dollars. The group would have acted with the consent of the "clan del Golfo", currently one of the main criminal groups in Colombia.

I didn't realize there was that high of a demand over there.

European cocaine market is at the moment almost the size of the US market. There is so much blow they have to stash it all over the place and the big boys have meetings to discuss price fixing.
