New techniques developed to make drugs undetectable at border checks • FRANCE 24 English

For the first time in ten years, the volume of cocaine seized in Belgian ports is down. However, the market seems to be thriving since cocaine production is increasing in Colombia and prices per kilo in Europe remain low. Belgian authorities say less is being caught due to new techniques developed that make the drug undetectable. Thanks to chemical processes, traffickers manage to mix it with all sorts of materials, liquid, textiles or even metal.

  1. You show the officers name, but not the face…. if they dont want to be found , you must protectvtheir names too ????

  2. The War on drugs is one of the biggest Governmental money grubbing scams developed by a number of Countries around the World that causes more headaches than the cocaine or marijuana ever did. While these Government agencies keep wasting tax dollars on trying to stop the flow of cocaine and marijuana people are starving from the lack of food!!!

  3. Prohibition will never work.
    We should have figured that out after the utter failure of the 1920s alcohol prohibition…

  4. Who cares why don't they mind their own business or create a safe, legal, market instead of owning people's consciousness

  5. As someone from the Netherlands who has had a 15+ year curious interest in organised crime and the facilitators that makes their trade possible… 1000s of liters of aceton is child's play

  6. Seems like EVERYONE is complaining about cocaine but NOBODY is going to Colombia to stop it..
    1 country rules the world..

  7. 1:07 "AAAAGH" – Times are changing. Addicts used to get aroused when they heard the C-word on the streets of Antwerp. Nowadays the same can be said of the word "mezclado".
