It is telling that the magistrates went to a UK newspaper and that it was then covered in the Belgian press: https://www.demorgen.be/snelnieuws/van-de-ene-dag-op-de-andere-moet-je-je-huis-verlaten-hoe-de-drugsoorlog-rechters-in-belgie-raakt~b08f2d2b/

Could it be that they decided to escalate beyond Belgium because they didn’t reach the necessary impact in Belgium itself?
