Belgium: the bosses of Marseille rule the roost in Brussels. For the Belgian authorities, if shootings have increased in recent weeks across the country, it is largely because of the arrival of drug traffickers from Marseille.
Paul Van Tigchelt, Belgian Minister of Justice, even speaks of the "infiltration" of Marseilles clans into the deal market in Belgium. “The Marseille mafia is a new challenge and we see that this mafia does not hesitate to resort to brutal violence and score-settling,” declared the minister.
