The Belgian police were quite surprised to discover a secret drug lab on the site of a military base near the border with the Netherlands, where NATO nuclear weapons are also stored. According to the provincial prosecutor’s office of Limburg, the laboratory produced the synthetic drug Ecstasy on the basis of Kleine Brogel.
Two suspects have been arrested in connection with the raid. However, according to the investigative services, they are now free again. According to the information, the two persons were not employed by the Belgian Ministry of Defence.
The base is not only used by the Belgian Air Force but also by the American Air Force. In 2019, Belgian MP Samuel Cogolati of the Ecolo party reported that “ten to 20” nuclear warheads were stockpiled for NATO. According to investigators, the province of Limburg, which borders on the Netherlands, is often used by criminals for drugstores and drug laboratories.
