Millions of French drug trafficking profits laundered through Belgium: authorities take action

Cooperation between Belgian and French authorities, set up through Eurojust, has led to the detention of eight people and the seizure of over EUR 8 million. The detained people are suspected of laundering several million euros through a business in Brussels. A joint investigation team set up at Eurojust enabled the Belgian and French authorities to reveal the money laundering scheme taking place in both countries.
