The Netherlands?!?
But of course!
The Netherlands is one of the largest producers of ecstasy, as well as being the European gateway for such wonderfully entertaining substances as Cocaine and Heroin. And they are also involved, heavily involved, in the marijuana and hasheesh trade. As well as every other illicit substance imaginable.
For a while it seemed as if a drug lab or hydroponic marijuana ranch was being busted in the Netherlands every week. Dutch newspapers featured tales of teenagers on sex-drugs-crime orgies at regular intervals. Biker-gangs, Albanian gangsters, neo-Nazis, and human-smugglers seemed to have violently overlapping interests in Amsterdam and Rotterdam.
All this, plus the occasional corpse in a canal, body in a container, head in a garbage bag, or overdosed trot cadaver, along with hits that the Dutch police are incapable of pursuing, rather indicate that the Netherlands is not quite as calm and bland a place as one would prefer to think.
The Kingdom of the Netherlands has turned into the Columbia of Europe.
