Getty ImagesBelgian footballer Raja Nanggolan has been arrested as part of a cocaine-trafficking investigation.
The 36-year-old was one of several suspects detained by Belgian police on Monday morning after a series of raids across the country.
“The investigation concerns the alleged facts of the importation of cocaine from South America into Europe, through the port of Antwerp and its redistribution in Belgium,” the Brussels prosecutor’s office said in a statement.
No additional information has been released to the public.
The arrest comes just six days after Nanggolan came out of retirement to sign for Lokeren in Belgium’s Second Division.
He scored on his debut to give his side a point in their 1-1 home draw at K. Lears.
Born in Antwerp, the midfielder spent most of his career in Italy, playing for both Roma and Inter Milan.
Between 2009 and 2018 he made 30 appearances for the national team in Belgium.
