A 37-year-old Albanian, identified as Luis G., risks 34 months in prison, after Belgian authorities found four sports bags filled with 40 packages of cocaine, the total amount of which was 46 kilograms.
The Belgian media reports that the Albanian was caught with the amount of cocaine in the port of Antwerp a few days before his birthday.
He testified before the Belgian authorities that he was promised 10,000 euros, but he did not give details about the person accompanying him, who could not be caught at the time of his arrest, and he did not even indicate the client to whom he would hand it over. the cocaine.
Albanian Luis G. appeared in court today and the prosecutor demanded 34 months in prison and a 20,000 euro fine. The 37-year-old's lawyer said that his client had been open with justice.
"My client has made a full confession. His birthday was a few days after his arrest and he wanted to throw a crazy birthday party. In reality, he hasn't received a cent yet. G. himself admitted that he had made a 'big mistake,'" said lawyer Jonathan Bogaerts.
