Moroccan criminal organizations
The so-called Mocromafia is made up of different criminal clans whose members predominantly have Moroccan roots.
It is not a single hierarchical organization, but rather a constellation of groups that have built drug distribution networks in Belgium and the Netherlands over the years and have acquired a significant position in the European hashish trafficking through their connections with Morocco.
In turn, the port of Antwerp constitutes a strategic point for international drug trafficking, while Balkan-origin organizations have a strong presence in the introduction of cocaine through major European ports.
The clans linked to the Mocromafia have extensive distribution and sales networks, in a scenario of competition for control of the business.
Now, Belgian authorities are seeking to establish the origin of the Kalashnikov, determine where it was headed, and clarify which organization the detainee was allegedly working for.
