Ex-Belgium star Radja Nainggolan arrested in cocaine trafficking probe
Former Belgium national team player Radja Nainggolan has been arrested in connection with an investigation into cocaine trafficking from South America to Europe, a source told Reuters on Monday.
The cocaine was allegedly trafficked through the Port of Antwerp, the Brussels Public Prosecutor’s Office said in an official statement, adding that 30 house searches had been carried out Monday as part of the probe. As per Belgian practice, the statement did not name Nainggolan, giving only his initials and profession.
The arrest was earlier reported by local media.
Nainggolan’s management team did not immediately reply to Reuters’ request for comment.
Nainggolan’s club, Lokeren-Temse, said in a statement that the player was absent from training Monday morning. The club added it respected the presumption of innocence and declined to comment further.
Last year, former Netherlands international Quincy Promes was sentenced to six years in prison in absentia by a Dutch court for his involvement in the smuggling of 1,360 kilograms of cocaine into the Netherlands in two shipments in 2020.
Belgium football fans were shocked to hear the news that former national team star Radja Nainggolan has been arrested in a cocaine trafficking probe. The midfielder, who has had a successful career playing for clubs like Roma and Inter Milan, was taken into custody as part of a larger investigation into drug trafficking in the region.
Nainggolan’s arrest has sent shockwaves through the football world, with many in disbelief that such a talented player could be involved in such criminal activity. The 33-year-old has yet to comment on the allegations, but his reputation has surely taken a hit regardless of the outcome of the investigation.
Fans and fellow players alike are left wondering what could have driven Nainggolan to get involved in such illegal activities. As more details emerge, the full extent of his involvement in the drug trafficking probe will become clearer.
For now, all we can do is wait and see how this shocking turn of events unfolds for one of Belgium’s most beloved football stars.
