Today, the courtroom environment underscores the gravity of the cases, with a significant police and legal presence focused on tackling organized drug crime.

On September 15, 2025, two major drug trafficking trials, 'Encro/SkyECC' in appeal and a case involving trafficker Flor Bressers, commenced at the Justitia courthouse in Haren, Brussels.

These trials are part of ongoing efforts by Belgian authorities to dismantle large drug networks and combat organized narcotics trafficking.

The 'Encro/SkyECC' trial involves 115 defendants who were initially sentenced in October 2024 for organized crime and drug trafficking, with 54 appealing their sentences, making it one of the largest correctional drug trials in recent history.

Court proceedings are marked by heightened security, including a large police presence with officers in balaclavas, creating a tense atmosphere among legal professionals and defendants.
