Back in November 2022, Europol announced that a large-scale international police operation took down a "super-cartel" that was responsible for more than 30% of the cocaine trade in Europe, seizing around 30 tonnes of the narcotic.

49 individuals were apprehended in several countries such as Belgium, France, Spain, and the Netherlands, including six main suspects in Dubai, and the cartel was aimed at operations transporting the drug from South America to Europe through Antwerp and Rotterdam ports.

The operation had also brought down an "extremely big fish" based in Dubai and originally from the Netherlands, Europol revealed.
