Radja Nainggolan arrested in Belgium cocaine trafficking probe

Radja Nainggolan, a former Belgian international footballer, has been arrested in connection with a drug trafficking investigation involving cocaine imports from South America to Belgium. The investigation, which led to 30 police searches across Antwerp and Brussels, is focused on the alleged distribution of cocaine through the port of Antwerp. Nainggolan, currently playing for KSC Lokeren-Temse, was reportedly linked to previous criminal associates, raising concerns about his past connections. His club has expressed its shock at the situation while upholding the presumption of innocence. Known for his controversial off-field behavior, Nainggolan recently returned to football after a brief retirement, scoring on his debut just days before his arrest. As the legal proceedings continue, the details surrounding his involvement in the investigation remain unclear.
