The further infiltration of an encrypted phone messaging services of Sky ECC and EncroChat by Belgian authorities led to a record cocaine haul, showing how such secretive communications are crucial both to those operating international drug trafficking rings and those seeking to dismantle them.
The transportation of this cocaine from a number of Latin American countries had been planned via Sky ECC messages. The hack revealed that Belgian and Dutch criminal groups had been sub-contracted by Colombian groups to then ensure the product reached other buyers in Italy, Albania, the United Kingdom and Ireland.
The interception of Sky ECC messages did not only lead to the Antwerp seizures but also revealed a wide range of other criminal plots in Europe.
EncroChat worked very similarly to Sky ECC, with users relying on specially designed handsets. In June 2020, shortly after police gained access to its messages.

“They were so full of confidence, and the police now have so much information on how the underworld was structured, bank accounts, all the corrupt contacts are being arrested. It takes years to build these networks,”
