荷兰海牙7月27日电——荷兰执法机构在25日宣布，成功破获了一起有史以来规模最大的冰毒走私案件。这一重大行动发生在荷兰第一大港鹿特丹港，共计查获了超过3.2吨的冰毒。据荷兰公共检察官办公室发布的公告显示，该批毒品于今年3月初在鹿特丹港被发现，当时一个装有沙子状物质的袋子引起了海关的注意。经过深入调查，最终确认袋内藏匿的竟是价值约2240万欧元的冰毒。
然而，这一发现的挑战远不止于毒品的查获。由于这批冰毒与铜和全氟和多氟烷基物质（PFAS）混杂在一起，后者在自然环境中难以降解，被称作“永久性化学物质”，销毁这一批冰毒成为了一个难题。荷兰当局直到上周才解决了这一问题，成功销毁了这批毒品，并随后向公众公布了这一案件。
调查发现，这批冰毒是从墨西哥发出，最终目的地是一家位于荷兰南部登豪特的公司。荷兰警方、海关、公共检察官办公室以及金融情报机构正紧密合作，对案件进行深入调查。登豪特的一名55岁男子因涉嫌与此案有关而被羁押并讯问，但目前已被释放，但仍被视为嫌疑人。
荷兰境内各大港口长期以来一直是贩毒团伙的活跃区域，尤其是来自南美和北美地区的毒品，鹿特丹港也因此成为了欧洲毒品犯罪的“重灾区”。去年7月，荷兰当局在鹿特丹港破获了史上最大规模的毒品走私案件，查获了超过8吨的可卡因，估价高达6亿欧元。
为加强缉毒力度，荷兰当局承诺增加缉毒投入，包括增加港口人手、购买先进的扫描设备，以实现对可疑集装箱的“百分百扫描”。同时，荷兰公共检察官办公室表示将加大反腐力度，防止毒贩通过腐蚀拉拢港口官员和工作人员，切断其“内外勾结”的链条。
此次大规模冰毒走私案的破获，不仅展示了荷兰执法机构的高效行动，也凸显了国际间合作在打击跨国毒品走私活动中的重要性。荷兰当局将继续加强港口安全，同时与国际伙伴合作，共同应对毒品走私的挑战。

Headline: “Netherlands Seizes Largest Ever Methamphetamine Smuggling Case, Confiscates Over 3.2 Tons of Drugs”
Keywords: Netherlands Seizes, Largest Methamphetamine Case, 3.2 Ton Confiscation
News Content: The Hague, July 27, 2023 — In a significant law enforcement operation, the Netherlands has successfully cracked down on what is believed to be the largest ever methamphetamine smuggling case. The operation, which took place in the country’s largest port, Rotterdam, led to the seizure of over 3.2 tons of the drug. The discovery was made on March 3, when a bag containing a sand-like substance raised the attention of customs officials at the port. Following an extensive investigation, it was confirmed that the bag contained approximately 22.4 million euros worth of methamphetamine.
However, the challenges of this discovery go beyond the mere seizure of the drugs. Due to the methamphetamine being mixed with copper and perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), known as “forever chemicals” because they are hard to degrade in the environment, the destruction of this batch posed a problem. The Dutch authorities finally resolved this issue last week, successfully destroying the drugs and subsequently announced the case to the public.
The investigation revealed that the drugs were shipped from Mexico and were destined for a company in Den Helder, a city in the south of the Netherlands. The police, customs, public prosecutor’s office, and financial intelligence unit are working closely together on the case. A 55-year-old man in Den Helder, suspected of being involved in the case, was arrested and interrogated but has since been released, but he remains a suspect.
Dutch ports have long been hotspots for drug trafficking, particularly from South America and North America, making Rotterdam a notorious area for European drug crime. Last July, Dutch authorities seized over 8 tons of cocaine from Rotterdam port, valued at approximately 600 million euros, which was the largest ever drug smuggling case in the country.
To strengthen their anti-drug efforts, the Dutch authorities have pledged to increase their resources, including adding more personnel at ports, purchasing advanced scanning equipment to scan suspicious containers 100% of the time. The public prosecutor’s office has also committed to intensifying anti-corruption efforts to prevent drug traffickers from bribing port officials and staff, cutting off their “inside-outside” collusion networks.
The successful dismantling of this large-scale methamphetamine smuggling operation not only showcases the efficiency of the Dutch law enforcement but also highlights the importance of international cooperation in combating cross-border drug smuggling. The Dutch authorities will continue to enhance port security and collaborate with international partners to address the challenges posed by drug trafficking.
