Drug trafficking in Antwerp: a former Moroccan escapee sentenced to a heavy sentence

Mohamed J., arrested in Morocco in 2009 and sentenced to ten years in prison after his escape from Bruges prison aboard a helicopter with Ashraf Sekkaki alias “The King of Escape”, was sentenced Friday by the court Antwerp Correctional Facility to forty months in prison for cocaine trafficking and one year in prison for weapons possession.

The case dates back to March 2021, where Mohamed J. delivered 35 packets of cocaine to a certain Mr. O. for the sum of 958,750 euros. His younger brother, OJ, supplied the drugs. Investigators intercepted encrypted messages on Sky ECC proving that the latter played a coordinating role in the trafficking of cocaine that it collected at the port of Antwerp, reports The Free.
