Summary
Ghana just pulled off a major drug takedown, nabbing three key operatives linked to fugitive Dutch kingpin Jos Leijdekkers—aka Bolle Jos—days after French customs disrupted a massive cocaine bust. The arrests are part of Ghana’s escalating war on drugs, including public destruction of seized narcotics and threats to shut down businesses aiding smuggling rings. One suspect, Desmond C., a known associate with a violent past, was once jailed for robbery and had overlapping time with Leijdekkers, who’s currently hiding in Sierra Leone and faces multiple European sentences—including a 14-year term from Belgium—for orchestrating a cocaine heist. This coordinated global pressure signals a relentless push to dismantle international trafficking networks one piece at a time.
