Can’t corrupt cops just go in and grab whatever they want without anyone stopping them? They are corrupt and they are cops after all. Who is going to do anything about it?

The port would report them to the part of the police that’s not corrupt, which as a Belgian, I like to think is most of the Antwerp police.

I have a hard time believing this story to be honest, most police corruption here would probably be a lot more covert, e.g. in the form of providing information or turning a blind eye at the right time.

Someone else already asked for a source and it’s yet to show up.
