The reason for series liquidations is a disagreement about 200 kilos of heroin that has disappeared from the port of Antwerp. The players are two drug gangs consisting mainly of Moroccans, therefore the liquidation wave has been given the term ‘Mocro-war. “

On the one hand state Benaouf A. with his band and on the other hand, the gang of Gwenette Martha – who was the victim of the killings in May 2014. Since April 2012, more than ten people were killed by violence in the underworld.

The police seemed powerless for too long, they seemed to get a grip on the ‘Mocro-war. ” Even suspects fled to Morocco to escape punishment in the Netherlands. This proved to be a mistake: Morocco and the Netherlands concluded an agreement that the Moroccan authorities may carry a Dutch criminal proceedings

Death penalty

In addition, penalties are in the North. -African country a lot higher. In theory, Morocco should impose the death penalty, but agreed in the treaty that it should not be used in Dutch affairs.
