Belgium incinerators can't keep up with the country's cocaine backlog

Belgium's incinerators have a backlog because customs have seized more cocaine than they can handle. This is raising concerns that criminals might target the stockpile. Antwerp, Europe's second-largest port, is on track to seize 110 tons of the drug this year, with a street value of $5.1B. This comes as Antwerp is becoming one of the ports forming the 'epicenter' of Europe's cocaine market.
