The police arrested a 36-year-old Belgian truck driver near Muiderberg last night. 500 kilos of cocaine were found in his trailer.
Officers carried out a check at a parking lot along the A1 near Muiderberg. There, the police found the drug load in a truck. The Belgian is being held for questioning. He is suspected of violation of the Opium Act.
The Infrastructure Service of the National Unit is investigating the origin of that cargo. The cocaine is then destroyed. In connection with the ongoing investigation, the police can say little further, but a spokesperson says that the cocaine has a street value of about 20 million euros.
