Looks like criminal groups active in the Antwerp cocaine trade still conduct most of their business with Colombian and Brazilian OCG's.
Mexican groups largely focus on North America and seem less likely to be a partner of European groups. Same case for organized crime groups based in the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Puerto Rico and El Salvador.
The DR def have connections to Europe, several Dutch and Antilleans have been killed over there the latest victim two weeks ago.
A man with Dutch nationality was murdered in the Dominican Republic last Thursday. Dominican media give its identity as Elvio "Evy" or "Bobby" Hato (52) from Curaçao. He was found on a farm in Villa Altagracia.
Hato was wanted by the authorities in Curaçao for cocaine trafficking. Two suspects are detained in the investigation into the murder in the DR: Juan Bernardo Féliz Mercedes (32) and Eduardo Luis GarcÃa Méndez (30). The motive for the murder was possibly a robbery.
Hato traveled to the DR in 2013 and went into hiding there. He was then a suspect in an investigation into cocaine smuggling via the container port on Curaçao in which a group of suspects were arrested in January 2013.
