Julien Moinil, the prosecutor of Brussels, warned that drug trafficking is becoming a troubling issue in the city. In a statement, he noted that this problem can affect "anyone," emphasizing the need for a more robust response to the existing trafficking networks.

The prosecutor urged that enhancing resources to combat drug trafficking should be taken "seriously." This call comes amid observations by authorities of an increase in trafficking-related activities in the region.

Moinil did not specify the particular measures that should be implemented, but his appeal suggests an urgency to improve both prevention and suppression of drug trafficking.

Although the issue of drug trafficking is not new, the prosecutor's appeal reflects a growing concern among local authorities about its scope and impact on society.
