Belgium is witnessing a disturbing increase in the recruitment of minors by criminal networks, especially in the capital, Brussels and its surroundings.
The surveys have revealed that most of these children are of Moroccan, Tunisian, Algerian and Afghan origin, and they are attracted to communication applications such as Telegram, YouTube and Whatsapp to engage in smuggling and distribution of drugs.
In this context, Eric Garbar, director of the federal judicial police of the human police, said that minors are divided into two main groups.
The first category includes the inhabitants of the marginalized districts which have not managed to study, while the second category consists of unpopular foreign minors to be introduced in smuggling from their country by organized networks.
Garbar described minors as a “cheap and easy to control”, explaining that their young age makes them perfect for gangs. Even if the police arrested them, legal sanctions are reduced, which means that the networks have exploited them several times without fear of the consequences.
For its part, the European police agency “Europol” has published a recent report confirming that more than 70% of drug -related crimes in certain areas of Belgium were involved in minors.
The report also indicated that gangs largely depend on encrypted communication channels such as Telegram and Singal to recruit these children and manage them secretly.
As for the stages of the integration of minors in the world of crime, Garbar explained that gangs provide them with housing, food and money when they arrive in Brussels, then gradually begin to train them in the fight against drugs and to distribute them, to find these children themselves socially linked to the gangs who compensate them for their families and their companies.
Despite the security efforts made, social protection institutions are still not able to absorb all the victims. However, some organizations such as “Samo Social” in Brussels have expressed signs of Amal by announcing the opening of a reception center for unaccompanied minors, aimed at protecting and reinstating them from crime claws.
