In the Kriva Rochem trial, Belgian prosecutors have demanded a 20-year sentence for Flor Bressers, described as the CEO of a tightly run organization, and 15 years for Brazilian drug lord Sergio Roberto de Carvalho, over the import of tons of cocaine through the port of Antwerp. The case highlights the scale of cocaine trafficking in Europe's second-largest port and the prosecution's focus on senior figures. The outcome will test the effectiveness of judicial efforts against organized crime.
