Five people suspected of trespassing on the Rotterdam Port site to extract cocaine hidden in sea containers will be prosecuted for participating in a criminal offense. It will be the first time that the Public Prosecution Service in the Netherlands will attempt to charge extractors caught at the port with the heavier charge, the OM confirmed to RTL Nieuws. The adults will be the first suspected extractors who can face the more severe accusation since changes were made to rules regarding the handling of organized crime. First offenders caught during such a scheme in the past often receive community service and a suspended prison sentence.
