The power of the drugs mafia - Cocaine and the Netherlands | DW Documentary

Organized crime in The Netherlands is flourishing in tandem with the cocaine trade. A key witness is shot dead, along with his lawyer. A journalist is murdered in downtown Amsterdam. The drugs mafia earns billions and deploys increasingly brutal tactics.
For years the Dutch authorities thought they had this so-called Mocro mafia under control. But at the latest with the murder of journalist Peter R. de Vries, it has become clear that organized crime is shaking The Netherlands to its very core. "It’s a battle for power and billions. It’s about killing, to avoid being killed,” says the well-known Dutch lawyer Vito Shukrula.
Recent years have seen a dramatic rise in the amount of cocaine being smuggled through the ports of Rotterdam, Antwerp and Hamburg. With profits running into the billions, mafia gangs mainly operating from The Netherlands find it easy to bribe individuals at key points in the chain. For example, a crane driver at a port can earn 100,000 Euros for moving just one container to a particular position. For years now, investigators have used all the means at their disposal to expose and cut the supply lines. Several raids found weapons and huge hauls of drugs; many suspects were taken into custody.
The biggest trial in the history of The Netherlands has been going on since March 2021. In the dock at the Marengo trial: several leading members of the Mocro Mafia accused of murder. The cases highlight the extreme brutality of a criminal network that’s pushing the state to its limits. The reportage accompanies investigators going about their work at the port of Rotterdam, talks to defendants’ lawyers, meets former drugs couriers as well as the journalist Peter R. de Vries, who was later murdered. The story is one of corruption and violence.

    Here is a controversial take: maybe people actually use those drugs, hence the neverending supply? The whole war on drugs does more harm to people than anything else. Major waste of resources. Legalize, tax and certify safety for recreational drugs (cocaine included!), and reinvest tax and money saved from drug enforcement into public drug education, research and social support for addicts.

    The problem in the Nederland’s is really hectic due to it being one of the main ports of entry for drugs into Europe. Essentially they are having to deal with a large portion of the total European drug trade and hence the stakes and profits are much higher and the gangs far more ruthless than if it was just their own domestic drug trade/consumption that was the issue.

    As a former abuser of cocaine and a pro drug supporter I have to say that I agree with the legalize, tax and make it as safe and provide treatment. Not that I am pro drug any longer but I realize that a huge draw of it was because it was illegal and the potential for profit. I am wise enough to understand that people are going to do it anyway. But take the things out of it that are a huge part of the allure and the resources to fight it just may be the answer. IDK.

    It may very well be possible with cocaine. When it comes to other substances, ones like meth and heroin, I have serious doubts if they could ever be legalized without significant societal harm. Keeping something in the shadows doesn't do away with the problem, but the addictive susceptibility is just far too great with some drugs. Putting up some barriers to access (by keeping them illegal or decriminalizing personal possession) seems like the best society can do.

However, I don't think substances like meth and heroin should ever be available at a dispensary/store like it is for marijuana. I'm not sure where you live but the meth epidemic is rampant and it consumes entire towns and cities. I was once a user myself. If had the ability to buy a bag of meth at a store, to cop a bag whenever I wanted, I can't say with confidence that I'd be sober today. It's hard enough to completely restructure your life, dropping people from your orbit because they're a bad influence. If it was available legally on every street corner? It would be a disaster. After all, this is a stimulant so power that it makes cocaine addiction look like child's play.

    Yeah, nobody ever talks about the cops (the brass, not the street guys) getting their slice and the politicians with connections that get another slice and "a gift" for their personal enjoyment. It's the only reason for which prohibition, which clearly is a failure, keeps going on. With a lawful legalization of the commerce, within lawful parameters and rules, the price would plummet (producing a gram costs around 3 dollars, the price is 70-80-100 because of the risk. In a legitimate commerce the price would drop close to 10-15 dollars/gram eliminating billions from the mafias pockets...ad everybody else's pockets).

    As a Moroccan that lives in Europe, I am deeply ashamed of this so-called Mocro Maffia. Some of the drug traffickers come from the city I live in. The worst thing that happened in the Netherlands was a chopped head found in a busy street facing its head to a shisha lounge where other criminals used to go. His body was found burnt in a minivan

    I visited the Netherlands 13 times from January 2018 to January 2020, and on the very few occasions where I was passing by De Wallen, during the day, in broad daylight, I would always get approached by Turks and Moroccans, asking me if I wanted any cocaine!! I’d reply with a smile, and tell them that I’ve never even smoked, not even once in my whole life lol. The funny thing was, most of them did not speak Turkish or Arabic, and even if they did, it was really a poor command of both languages. Mostly second, or given that they were fellow millennials, or perhaps some were even younger Gen-Z, I’d say they were third or fourth generation immigrants. Overall, it’s quite literally, one of the safest countries one can visit, with the friendliest, most open people one can ever have the pleasure of running into. I’ve made friends there, some young such as myself, in their 20s and 30s. While others, are in their 60s and 70s. Not to mention my best friend, and my unofficial atheistic 81 year old Dutch Godmother haha. The Dutchies I tell ya, what a nice group of homo Sapiens. They’re so cool, a retired ex Shell chemical engineer from Prienseneiland, even dedicated the first English translation of his book to me!! In the Preface, right under the dedication to his only son, how crazy is that?! Willem Van Der Horst, what an awesome 70 year old fellow that guy is.

    The crimeblogger that was killed was a former criminal himself, as a bouncer he killed a man with a barstool, which was unlawfull death, then when he was out of prison for a bit he shot the new boyfriend of his ex which was straight murder. When he got out the second time he became a crimeblogger and a reckless one at that. Names and pictures, no doublechecks and everybody including myself warning him. He knew he lived in borrowed time and had had a extensive lunch with a lot of prominent crime journalists the day he got killed. If i'm not mistaken he was sold out or killed or both by a dude who was called scotty on the parking lot of a bordello after the failed attempt shown here.

    A Higher Power than the corrupt “state” is needed to deal with this scourge. As citizens we can do all we can to eliminate abuse which leads many to drugs. It is so bad in America that many people don’t care if they live or die.

    Sounds exactly like the stuff that happened during alcohol prohibition. People will always want to get high, no matter how how dystopian things get. But full legalizing and getting things under government supervision, age-restricted and quality control also sounds like a complete liability.

    I find all of this both very sad and very shocking. I'm not Dutch (I'm English), but a close relative emigrated to NL in the 80's. So I've visited frequently, often a few times a year because (as ridiculous as it sounds) I can fly to Amsterdam and back for a lot less than I can go to London and back on the train from the north of England. I absolutely adore the Netherlands and its people, I consider it to be one of the nicest, most welcoming, most tolerant and socially advanced nations on this planet. I don't know what the answer to these problems are. It's difficult to foresee any government legalising and controlling the trade in a drug like cocaine, even if it would remove the gangsters from the equation. It's too problematic to legally allow people to ingest such a powerful narcotic. The producers won't stop, it's far too lucrative a crop to expect them to grow something else. I'd hope that education would teach people that taking it isn't a good idea. Yet, people have been ingesting these substances for as long as people have been on the planet. No country can allow gangsters to go around threatening and murdering those people employed in the press or the law, though. So, I hope that the Dutch government can stick those that think they can operate with impunity behind bars for a very long time.

    The Netherlands has become modern day Tortuga, a nest for pirates, criminals and money laundering. Money from the drugs mafia, from Russian oligarchs and anyone else who wants to launder, hide or store cash can make use of a widespread network of lawyers, banks, consultants and advisors, this is an industry with a very active political lobby. Legislation is actively made to support these practices. International agreements, like sanctions against Russian oligarchs because of the conflict in Ukraine, are actively avoided and frustrated(not one bank account has been blocked so far, not one dollar has been confiscated). The Netherlands is still a tax avoidance haven: large companies like Shell or Starbucks can make secret agreements with the Dutch tax office about how much tax they have to pay and no one can check it. The Netherlands is the modern day Tortuga for companies, oligarchs and criminals…. (Yes, I'm Dutch myself)

    As long as there is demand there will be supply, period. Prohibition will not change that at all. Legislation is the answer. People will do whatever they want anyways. What really annoys me though is the hypocrisy of the mainstream media and politicians, as if they´re any different than drug criminals. The ignorance of the people also annoys me very much. It may sound harsh, but you cannot blame these criminals for the killing of innocent people/people who are trying to do their job, as they are just trying to defend their interests. I see it as inevitable collatoral damage within a business like that. Look at how the US for example lie to it's people for their acceptance to invade the middle east and commiting war crimes. There are a lot of more examples. Please look up "operation northwoods". Men in suit and ties are usually far more evil than drug criminals. It's actually the fault of our politicians. I am from the Netherlands, and i can tell you that we pay a shitload of taxes here, and our politicians are only spending a pittance of it on our national interests, and in this case in safety and justice. They have been doing it for decades. When that journalist "peter r de vries" got murdered, all our minister of justice said was exactly the same thing he said when that lawyer got murdered, or when they found a severed head at the door of a shisha lounge here in Amsterdam, or when all these innocent people mistakenly got murdered; "This is an attack on our democracy". And then we move on and nothing ever changes. It's a complete joke, and what's even more funny is that we are just too stupid and ignorant here to realise that, as we are constantly voting for the same political establishment who are responsible for this. The current maffia situation is just a symptom of this poor policy.

    Your “logic” shows an absence of pragmatism, rationality and facts. First of all, it is not “difficult“ to foresee modern western societies and their governments controlling the trade of cocaine. That should be a no-brainer. Obviously they should regulate and control its trade being that it’s a billion dollar commodity, is a normal part of adult-life in the western world, and is so much more widely popular than even other illegal drugs. It’s right after weed in terms of popularity on the street. If you wanna make an argument against *using* cocaine that’s different but you can’t act like that’s the same conversation as whether or not to legalize. It should be legal and regulated whether it’s bad for you or not. In fact, it being “bad” is more of a reason to legally regulate it because prohibition just makes everything more dangerous. It’s not a solid argument to identify a dangerous problem and then basically say “hey let’s make it more dangerous”, which is what prohibition does. The laws against it aren’t stopping anyone. It’s even arguable that prohibiting something like cocaine only leads to higher rates of use and abuse in the long term. If you think cocaine is dangerous and you don’t like seeing people use it then you should be for legalization of it because that’s the only way to make the overall use decrease but especially the harm we see it cause. It’s also already extremely available and accessible to people given the fact that it is an illegal street drug. Often times illegal street drugs are even easier to get than legal ones, which… you can debate endlessly if they’re more easy or just as easy but do not for one second think that illegal drugs are less accessible. That’s a myth. And lastly, cocaine use in general isn’t even a bad thing… A huge study came out in 1995 basically concluding that moderation and responsible use of cocaine does not seem to be even slightly harmful socially, medically and otherwise. This study caused a lot of irritation among those lobbying to keep it illegal as you can imagine. Here’s what happens if you legalize and regulate cocaine; usage rates will measurably rise for a short amount of time, meanwhile medical complications and social ills will *decrease* despite this temporary bump up in use. After a short period the usage rates will drop back down to where they were before and then they will predictably KEEP dropping and during this time you’re talking about an even further simultaneous drop in medical and social ills along with that. Legalization will decrease used in the long term.

    The "War Against Drugs" in the USA has shown that just throwing people behind bars isn't the solution. There is a shift in mindset taking place in which many believe the answer lies within harm reduction. A form of harm reduction is the education of people that you mentioned. But not educating them to "Just Say No." Rather, educating about the realities of drug use while accepting the fact that there will still be people who end up abusing the drug.

    “In 1995 the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI) announced in a press release the publication of the results of the largest global study on cocaine use ever undertaken. An American representative in the World Health Assembly banned the publication of the study, because it seemed to make a case for the positive uses of cocaine. An excerpt of the report strongly conflicted with accepted paradigms, for example, "that occasional cocaine use does not typically lead to severe or even minor physical or social problems." In the sixth meeting of the B committee, the US representative threatened that "If World Health Organization activities relating to drugs failed to reinforce proven drug control approaches, funds for the relevant programs should be curtailed". This led to the decision to discontinue publication. A part of the study was recuperated and published in 2010, including profiles of cocaine use in 20 countries, but are unavailable as of 2015.”
