That is a trend that the police services have seen more often recently, according to Clerix. “In total, investigators took the past two years 19 Mexicans in Belgium and the Netherlands that would be involved in the production of crystal meth ”, Clerix emphasizes.
How that Mexican-Dutch connection works exactly has been discovered thanks to research in the encrypted messaging service EncroChatis. Police forces have been able to read the most secret reports and have learned that “some underworld brokers – middlemen – are the link between the Mexican cartels and their expertise on the one hand and the Low Countries on the other.”
The underworld brokers ensure that Mexican chefs, lab technicians, are flown here with their experience, to make their expertise available to the Dutch cartels. What can they do that the Dutch cannot? “The trick of getting certain raw materials 100 percent pure methamphetamine to make. Apparently the Mexicans master this trick like no other. “
