Belgian midfielder, Radja Nainggolan, has been arrested as part of an investigation into cocaine trafficking.
The former AS Roman and Inter Milan star was one of several suspects apprehended by Belgian police on Monday.
The 36-year-old’s arrest comes after a series of raids were carried out across the country.
“The investigation concerns alleged facts of importation of cocaine from South America to Europe, via the port of Antwerp, and its redistribution in Belgium,” the Brussels prosecutor’s office said in a statement.
Media Talk Africa reports that this is coming after Nainggolan came out of retirement to sign for Lokeren in the Belgian second division.
The midfielder scored on his debut, giving his team a point in their 1-1 draw to K. Lierse.
Nainggolan was born in Antwerp and spent most of his career in Italy, playing for both Roma and Inter Milan.
He made 30 appearances for the Belgium national team between 2009 and 2018.
