Pen pistol, Kalashnikov and 136,000 euros in cash after police raid: federal police reveal how Turkish mafia works in Flanders

The Turkish mafia is in the Limburg mining area. Not as a distant shadow from Istanbul or Rotterdam, but between shisha bars, shops and residential areas in Genk, Beringen, Houthalen-Helchteren and Heusden-Zolder. This is evident from a large-scale investigation by the Federal Judicial Police, which resulted in 26 house searches and 18 arrests this week. The gang is guilty of extortion, threats, violence and money laundering. Thanks to the research, HLN can provide a unique look behind the scenes of the mafia clan.
