The power of the drugs mafia - Cocaine and the Netherlands | DW Documentary
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 апр 2022
- 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.

As a Dutch person born in Amsterdam, I guess you don't really realize how fucked up something is if it's not presented from a foreign channel.
and this one was such a MILD presentation
@@kukulroukul4698 VERY VERY MILD🤣🤣
Yeah don't even get me started on the grooming data and street assaults data. I also talk to Dutch girls about this on a personal level. It's not racist to say that some cultural ideals don't mesh well with western ideals. Stop giving into bad cultural practices
@@ADUAquascaping They literally killed a Syrian DJ lol
Er worden heel mooie podcasts gemaakt over dit onderwerp, waarmee je goed op de hoogte blijft. Bijvoorbeeld De Taghi Podcast, De Willem (oorspronkelijk over Willem Holleder maar nu over de drugs maffia), Cocainekoorts, Het Marengoproces, etc.
Im Dutch, and this just a small part of a story. Money is laundered through the financial ssctor. Also in rural villages (especially in the South) people are producing mdma and speed; they have also inflitrated small local governments
Let Singapore government handle security. Unfortunantly, if falsly accused can get death sentance in Singapore
.
Good for them, a corrupt government made it all possible.
The south of the Netherlands even getting also the crystal meth capital. Because the quality is extremely high.
lemme have those lovely molly & C10H15N please !! big love
keep the MD factories open, Dutch saves so many lives because it’s colour is so distinct. You know if you’re taking Dutch you’re relatively safe from cutting.
The stark reality of organized crime's grip on The Netherlands is both chilling and eye-opening. This documentary sheds crucial light on the challenges faced by authorities in the battle against criminal networks. Thank you for highlighting this pressing issue.
Authorities are often among the main beneficiaries so not really a challenge, just a nice side hustle
its in reality not that bad. netherlands is low in crime. the media just blows things up that are not even a big deal
never knew all this was going on in the Netherlands! thanks for opening our eyes!
this is a network ( mocromaffia ) that stratches from france to the netherlands and even into germany
Now you know. Netherlands is big drug country
Where did u lived then, under a rock🤣🤣🤣🤣
May I ask you how old you are because I'm 55 and 35 years ago people elder than me told already these stories. The numbers were less but the situation just that.
@@gudrunbruemllst4172 I am 58years old, so thats why @ a funny way saying where did u lived back in those days ;-)
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 DEA and CIA are the biggest cartels tho lol
The crime journalist who got killed literally said it is the only solution. So I think you have a point. It would be severely detrimental for drug gangs
The power of the drugs mafia - Cocaine and the Netherlands | DW Documentary 12.4.22 1739pm hey could also sponsor sporting events to garner some revenue to funnel back into health services as they used to do with tobacco industry revenue... see how the UK health service is struggling now it aint got it's much required tobacco tax funding???
@@frankvictorrood It would end those gangs
Almost Nobody in The Netherlands is using it.
It's an export product, it's a dutch tradition..
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.
The port of Rotterdam is our cocain hub and the province of Brabant our XTC factory!

@@billy6pack887 hook it up
R.I.P. Peter de Vries, one of the best reporters. This is a big loss for our country. something like this happening in the Netherlands is unbelievable. We are officially a narco-state now.
Perhaps the only solution is de criminalizing drugs, including hard drugs like cocaine. If there's no profit, this ends.
That police chief was incredibly down to earth and really understood how the world works. Hats off to her
You mad dutch cops are some of the biggest drug dealers in europe do some research and see how many are in prisons all over the world for serious serious drug dealing offenses while members of the force, Your seeing nothing but smoke and mirrors and misdirection with a good helping of lies and untruths
That job'll do that to you. But people from Rotterdam tend to be like that anyway, they're straight talkers.
@@scotty101ire okay 👍
She is not doing anything useful for society, nobody cares if a bit of cocaine gets stopped at the port
She was tough .A real ball breaker ;-)
Legalise it, tax it and start the recovery process. Absolutely no way that this can be stopped with force, ever.
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.
@@TheHamburgler123 Legalizing them would solve alot of problems. Give legal pharmaceutical heroin for heroin addicts and suddently heroin will be gone from the streets
@@TheHamburgler123 Alcohol is scientifically the most harmful drug there is and yet even with it, they want to keep it legal because everything went to shit when they tried to criminalize it; booze barons, methanol in booze etc..
@@Pateffs I support programs such a needle exchanges and even injection locations where you can obtain free shots of heroin. The same goes for meth. 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.
The USA will not let any country legelize it not happing
as always super docu from DW, keep doing same good quality work 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I don't know if there's been any translations, but if you want to dive deeper into the Mocro Maffia, i'd highly recommend the book Mocro Maffia, written by Marijn Schrijver. The book contains real stories about some very big players. Also the tv Show Mocro Maffia is very good, it's not a documentary but it shows what can happen behind the scenes.
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.
I don’t think it should be legal I also was addicted to cocaine and it made me and peoople around me who use it very aggressive
Look at Portland Oregon then think again
@@alexmarle9123 What does it have to do with users being aggressive or not? The point is there is no way to stop people using it so might as well legalize it so government can take the profits instead of the carterls and other criminals. It would end the violence involved as the criminals would be all out of business immediately.
I get agressive when I get cut off in traffic. BAN CARS AND TRAFFIC!@@alexmarle9123
@@lzzzzzzzzz143 That's opiates. We dont have those problems in European countries. Also, it doesn't heelp to make stuff legal, when it's still sold and made by the same people. Get stuff legalized and regulated. Safer for consumers and also a nice tax income for the governments.
This was some really good insight into other parts of the world. I always saw Mexico and the U.S. having real serious issues with drug cartels but it's not just them. Theres drugs all over the world, cartels all over, but there are certain areas, such as the Netherlands, are getting hit hard by this problem.
They aren’t getting hit hard at all. It’s just a 1st world white country that thinks it’s only happening to them. Mexico for example is a complete mess cartels are literally multi billion dollar corporations and they control everything.
The issue is worldwide but there is a reason the highest murder rates in the world are all in the Western Hemisphere. What goes on in Europe is child’s play compared to South America, Central America and the Caribbean.
Drug prohibition is a government subsidy for drug cartels.
Cartels have underground tunnels all through America and Mexico
Ron Zerker I never knew the Netherlands even had a Mafia.

Thanks for watching and for the positive feedback, Timothy!

Thank you DW teams, as always, for preparing a neutral and high-quality documentary. So informative~
Lol I only watched half but they already said "PGP got hacked", unfortunately quality content is hard to find 😂
When you learn how much money the people on docks, ships, police and law make, it takes a fully different point of view.
stevedores make a good amount of money.
Otherwise they would be corrupt
Reminds me of Season 2 of the TV show, The Wire.
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).
Do you mean before or after corruption, toaster?
Wow this is really is crazy, I’m not from the Netherlands but it is my favourite place the people are so welcoming it’s just such a vibe. I knew there was crime but I didn’t know just how bad it is, really enjoyed this documentary great work!
If you thought this was a nice documentary, then you should see the one by crime reporter John van de Heuvel. He has made a documentary about the mocro mafia with 3 seasons. AMAZING DOCUMENTARY!!! Unfortunately, he lives now with 24/7 police on his side.
Nothing that executing drug traffickers couldn't help.
@@TalibanSymphonyOrchestra Are you insane? Executing drug traffickers is a stupid and horrible idea. The solution is drug legalisation and it’s painfully obvious and true.

yea alot of people get killed here
The scariest part is that I actually live like 10 minutes away from these torture chambers, and its so calm around here. Never in my wildest fantasy I would have thought to find something like this around here. It scares me.

Imagine being that close to death and never even knowing that someone attempted and missed at that close range...
tjhe victim didnt even move
He did not even notice them. I was surprised he did not even hear the gun jam.
i mean..so sorry but it was really very funny. The man was just walking along, someone tried, failed, meanwhile he is just walking along. Probably thought it was a bug on his ear.
timestamp?
After all he still got killed at a stripclub in the Netherlands
The process ingenuity of these criminals is astounding. They find loopholes Everywhere. Had no idea The Netherlands was the drug dealer den of Europe.
Very insightful documentary ; thank you !
You had no idea? The Dutch have been the HUB for a solid 40 years now…
We are number 3 best infrastructure in the world. That's great for business and citizens, but criminals like that great infrastructure too.
this is only the cocain maffia,
the netherlands also has a large xtc maffia
theres cannabis maffia
theres sex maffia
Check out the drug seizures in Belgium just as big
@@--jan-- in the late 80's they also supplied Europe with lsd, also amphetamine sulphate. Its a old business. a lot of foreign gangs moved there and set up shop

I must admit, I never really followed newsfeeds from DW, but it's content is good
Excellent documentary; well-produced, told and executed. Well done WDR!!

This is very akin to Ireland, specifically Dublin in the 1990's with the heroin gangs and the murder of Veronica Guerin

"The garbage doesn't stop coming " because you don't stop buying garbage.
"You" meaning the whole world? Because The Netherlands exports around 90 billion euros in XTC, MDMA and amphetamine. Dutch criminals are mainly successful because the rest of the world. Not the dutch itself 🤣
Lol
They are just pruning branches. They need to get to the source of the problem.
and yet it costs not one cent to leave people alone - and yes, right back at you ♡
I gotta say that Deutsch Well DW is such an awesome news channel
As a Dutchman it kills me that whenever English spoken documentaries recreate something in Dutch, they nearly always use German text or speech. Just to be clear: "Dutch" isn't the same as "Deutsch". Other than that, great doc!
Your documentaries are always a BOMB!
Another great documentary by DW 👍.
Amazing criminality....very organized 👌
I still can’t believe they took out Peter deVries. He was a brave man to put these guys on blast. He did a phenomenal job with the Natalee Halloway case as well. He was vigilant. RIP Mr. de Vries
Like they did to Veronica guerin in Ireland
The main problem is that Netherlands are in the heart of Europe, and it has the best ports, that's why it has so much, great position to export through Europe.
You're completely wrong in that. Yes, the Port of Rotterdam is the biggest port of Europe. But that is absolutely not the reason for the succes of the criminals. The reason for that is, in The Netherlands the punishes related to drugs are relatively low and soft in comparison to the rest of the world.
@@felixevers Sweden has very harsh punishments for drug offences, simply failing a drug test is enough for one to be conviceted of a drug crime. At the same time we have quite serious issues with organized crime revolving around the drug trade. The heart of the issue is prohibition itself, which has proven itself the world over to be succesfull at nothing beyond fueling black markets and causing further criminality and violence.
The main with the whole spectrum of problems involving a variety of drugs, is the "war" against it.
And our jail is like a Hotel. They don't care
We always have been merchants. Believe me, it’s the elite who pays this.

Yes. I like DW too. What did you learn in this feature? Its just the same repeated message. No names, no structures. Same narrative as always. Hard guys, most propably corrupt, all realists. I think that this video is a very superficial mashup of pictures and point of views of already spread 'knowns - actually telling us - nothing- . (maybe 'cocaine is getting more popular', or 'better dont touch it.' depends what you prefer. money is what they take all.)
@Some Words check out the ones about the Iraq war and inequality in Germany.
Another excellent doc! 👏👏
We need to fight corruption. I wish that there was more transparency in banking. That would throw sand into the gears of criminal organizations. Also we need to find a way to curb demand as well.
Or we can stop this war by just taxing these substances and selling them for over 18+ with risks etc all over the packaging. This way less innocent people are harmed. Human trafficking drops also.
rest in peace peter r de vries we miss you brother
This is insane. As long as people want something, somebody will supply it. If it is made illegal the result is crime and corruption. Prohibition cannot work. Legalise, legalise, legalise and tax like alcohol or tobacco.
Important point.
Legalizing crimes doesn't reduce real crime. Think about it. The real answer is eliminating the desire to escape self. Create mental health, close families, connected communities. Then drugs wouldn't be an issue.
@@marieindia8116 A better live is certainly right.
But does the prohibition help?
@@marieindia8116 he's not talking about legalizing crimes, he is talking about legalizing the use of drugs, wich already isnt a crime today.
@@marieindia8116 Its not so much as a desire to escape/run away from problems as it is a helpfull tool in having a great night out with your friends. I could easily go without but that just means less fun so why would i? Of course you shouldnt go overboard and do drugs on a daily basis but every once in a while on a party can make life more fun. The same reason mankind always has done drugs. From the Romans to the Victorians they all did drugs. Drugs will for that reason never leave. There will always be people like myself that want to party and take drugs.

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.
The plague of drugs in every corner of the world is astounding. People are literally killing each other and dying from drugs.
We have failed as human beings.

@@marieindia8116 true but when you grow up in a shit neighborhood with 10 siblings in a crammed apartment, sometimes an alcoholic father and a mother who is forced to prostitute to make enough money for her kids can make money seem the problem to all your solutions.

Puppet on a chain!!☠️☠️
Extremely interesting and informative.
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.
Bro some local poor dealers don't represent anything
Cause they Kürdish.. Not Turks or Arabics.. Mostly Africans or Kurds Whos behind the Mafia or Drunks..
Insane what great country Netherland is experiencing.
worth to mention that most of the money is being laundered in NL aswell, creates unfair competition for legitimate business and drives property prices sky high.
Same problem in Vancouver. Governments still play dumb and useless
No only drives property prices sky high but services and products tend to be also overpriced in most cases, while the Banksters ruling the world get rich all creating a rentier class.

Thanks DW for brilliant docs.
Do not believe everything you see in this video. Dutch politicians and police people have two faces and talk with a double thing. Dutch politicians and police are also criminals. Police officers also use drugs. Peter R de Vries was /is not kosher. Perhaps he moved to Omerta Falls.
Thank you for this honest documentary. I've seen many documentaries and heard countless stories of women. In the red light district alone... it's absurd. Since drugs are involved, it's no wonder why human trafficking is a massive problem there.
Yeah don't even get me started on the grooming data and street assaults data. I also talk to Dutch girls about this on a personal level. It's not racist to say that some cultural ideals don't mesh well with western ideals. Stop giving into bad cultural practices
Welcome to so called liberism.
What do they do with the humans they traffic?
Seriously i dont support it but outside red light district its way more dangerous and unhealthy. They are closing more and more places and the girls end up out of sight in the real illegal prostitution.
It's not here..... It's mostly drugs, guns, and organised crime, but in the normal live in Amsterdam you don't deal with it alot!
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.
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.

Thank you DW.I didn't know about the Moroccan mafia. I think the authorities need to involve the community leaders in reaching out to the young ones, and try to discourage them against a life in crime.
Can never discourage them against selling drugs if you can’t provide them jobs with a good pay and a future
@@sharptux618 imagine, working in a factory, you will get paid 300£ tops a week. Office, maybe 400£. That’s after tax, max you will get. In normal level, not talking managers,directors,obviously.Selling drugs, u can make that in a day. It is temping I can’t lie, especially for the younger people on smaller level.Solution is legalisation. No fkn other way. People who wants it, at least will get the best quality, not some mixed up stuff. That would make so much money that you can open rehabilitation centres and so on. Crime would go down. Gangs would go down, police forces would become better, less of mafia to deal with. If price is right, mafia will have no room to make profit. If alcohol is legal, drugs should be to. At the end of the day, what is the difference if you can get it any ways.
@@JJ-3033 That's radical!!!!
@@heraldloshi1864 well, sometimes the most unthinkable ideas are the ones to chose. It might not work, but it’s better then nothing in my eyes. And one more thing, the human nature. You always want that something prohibited more then what u can get legally. Neighbours apples are always looking better 😀 so even psychologically it should effect us, people. That’s how I see it.
@@JJ-3033 Okay,🤣🤣 you win for now.I can't beat you on human lusts.
Please i beg you... Feed us more documentaries DW DOCUMENTARY 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks for watching, Amir! Be sure to check out our channel for more content!
How do I apply? happy to look the other way
Main problem in the port? Dockworkers are cheap access to the port because they're underpayed and the Dutch police can't protect their families well without state surveilance. Also drugrunners who are caught do 1 day or pay a fine for release.
Great doc....I'm from Ireland and we have same issues here.Unfortunately when drugs were criminalised t created a whole new form criminal
Hopefully this illustrates what we had lived in countries like Colombia for decades. The drug war is a lost war, it won't solve anything and it has the potential to sink countries in bloodsheath and violence. Condolences with this tragedy. Netherlands, please don't repeat failed strategies, or face the potential to loose your best citizens in a non-sense war like we did in Colombia
the writer almost had the perfect beginning, ' first comes the containers, then comes the cocaine, then comes the cash and lastly the caskets.'
love and hate in the same time
So true, continuing the fight against drugs will only bring more death, destruction and oppression. Most, or all drugs should be legalised everywhere.
The reason this is happening in the Netherlands is because of complacency.. Singapore doesn't have this issue, neither does China.. Because it is strict and ruthless. The weaker the policing and laws.. The worst it gets. Legalization will make things worse not better
Either way they loose people to drugs.
Awesome Video Title. Not vague at all
I remember going there in the late 80s as teenagers and even then we got offered Hashish and stuff in the streets always by non European types like Moroccans so i'm not surprised it's worse now. I remember the marked contrast of luxury cars there compared to England. That money had to come from this type of activity
If you think the Netherlands has a lot of luxury cars then you haven't seen the north of Morocco yet.
hey, i worked hard for my Citroen C1.
But, couldn't it have been loads of Mercedes 180's? i believe they were, most taxi drivers had one of those. Also, if you now go to London and see the Arabs there, it's money gained over the backs of other people with oil.
Very good documentary! Thank you for preparing it!
Izzy you are welcome -:))
Thank you for watching!
Brilliant documentary, very interesting.
As an Italian, i can tell the Dutch are not yet used to organized crime. How is it possibile that a crime-reporter/ journalist wasn't given special protection?? In Italy everyone speaking out against mafia is protected by police. Netherlands need better laws.
it struck me what the lawyer said at @8:00. "What are you doing there, you don't belong here, limited access to opportunities". Perhaps, therein lies another root cause. Such children who are somewhat rejected by their peers, eventually become prey for these drug lords who give them a negative sense of belonging. There is an African proverb that goes "a child that is not embraced by the village, will burn it down to feel it's warmth".
The minute I saw the part in The Wire where Valchek’s stolen police van goes from port to port around the world I knew they were all in the same game
Police and government is always involved because in the end money does matter.
Corruption is everywhere in different ways.
The shipping companies need to pay heavy penalties for shipping drugs
the armies transport it, the rockers sell it, the rest is fighting the competitors
Please make a doc about the rising crime in Sweden! It would be very interesting to watch!
Probably to do with the mass immigration of people from the Middle East and the improper cultural alignment with the people from Sweden and the failure of integration
That would be politically incorrect, so don't have high hopes.
Sweden has taken over from the Netherlands in both countries it is rising. although the Netherlands has been dealing with this problem for almost 11 years
Do you live in Hollywood`? rising crimes in sweden? sweden is one of the safest countries in europe. Don't buy the bullshit heard from far right extremists. LOL
I live in Amsterdam center and every time I go down the streets I'm asked by youngsters "do you need material?"
It's not a good thing to deal with and sometimes it's a challenge to walk in the centre because of smell, when I was new here my friends told me that you will get used to it but I still feel this smell annoying.
You moved to the wrong place mate.
Amsterdam is the best smelling city in the Netherlands lmao

Much prayers for honest and sincere law enforcement officers who risk their lives for good of a better world. 🌏🌍🌎🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️😔
This it what was happening in Italy 40
Years ago. They never got Italian authorities seriously, I hope that Europe will from now on.
Great documentary
I would never dare to dive near a ship or any propeller for that matter, does not matter who is guarding the controls. I can definitely not understand how the criminals dare as the ship may start at any point.
You need to understand that these "criminals" are people struggling to survive, dummy🤡
Radio correspondence with the captain helps especially on a ship with a crew of 6 or 7
@@fatmunch6318 Does not matter, would not ever go near a propeller in water. I know that my swim skills never would outrun its own power.
Don't worry, the captain knows 😃
Yeah that freaked me out also, I could never do it
If people would stop using drugs there is no market.
The lawyer is a better call Saul guy. Represents the ,,bad,, people. Interesting job I can imagine
This quite true that as long as there is demand for these drugs supply will always be there.
One solution may be to allow limited use of these drugs legally. So as to reduce killings and corruption.
wallah!, see the problem is the country's own currency the euro this is the reason why its profitable to flog the goods off to the NL. and its also the reason why the rest of the world isn't consuming those hard drugs.market value
In the nederlands Is legal to use some drugs, in Europe Amsterdam Is famous for beeing the drug capital
Absolutely, it is the only solution. The problem is, the authorities don't want it to end, because they get funding and more police hires to interdict these drugs. The only reason there is violence and murder associated with drugs is their illegality. They know people will keep doing drugs, no matter what, so they know it's a cash cow that can keep going forever if they never address the actual problem.
The solution is banning all drugs and executing every bandit murderer.
Yes decriminalization of the these drugs and access to safe drugs along with treatment help and medication like saboxone is the answer.
