Europe's drug mafia (2/2) - The weakness of states | DW Documentary
In Rotterdam, local street gangs join forces with Colombians to build their empire. Driven by raging demand, the cocaine trade has triggered an unprecedented wave of violence.The second part of this documentary begins in Europe, in the 2000s. It traces the rise of major criminals who came to the Netherlands as immigrants. These include Gwenette Martha and Ridouan Taghi, who became the main contacts for South American cocaine dealers. To defend the bosses' interests, their organization practiced unprecedented violence. Murders of lawyers and journalists, acts of retaliation with military weapons, and threats against the royal family shook the country.
Some surviving drug dealers ended up in Dubai, the trading paradise of the Middle East. From here, they continued their business via encrypted communication platforms. When police authorities succeeded in cracking down on these platforms in 2020, they thought they had found the Holy Grail: thousands of drug dealers were arrested, record amounts of weapons, cash, and drugs were seized, and countless henchmen who had been secretly laundering money were identified.
But the criminal gangs reorganized in no time at all—and became even more agile and mobile than before. Further proof of the criminals' resilience and procurement capabilities was the price of a gram of cocaine - which remained stable through it all. In the mid-2020s, judges, police forces, and European customs officials agreed on one thing: drug trafficking poses the greatest threat to Europe's internal security.
