Former Belgian international Radja Nainggolan was arrested on Monday as part of an investigation into cocaine trafficking via the port of Antwerp, the Brussels prosecutor’s office said.
Police arrested several suspects, including the footballer, after carrying out a series of morning raids across the country, the office told AFP.
“The investigation concerns alleged facts of importation of cocaine from South America to Europe, via the port of Antwerp, and its redistribution in Belgium,” prosecutors added in a statement.
No further details were immediately made public.
Antwerp-born Nainggolan, 36, came out of retirement last week to join a lower-tier Belgian side — adding a final spell to a long career that saw him play 30 matches and score six goals for the national team.
