**Federal Police, Committee P, Federal Government of Belgium launch crackdown on gang violence in Brussels** **Brussels, Belgium** - The Federal Police, in collaboration with Committee P and the Federal Government of Belgium, has launched a major crackdown on gang violence in Brussels. The operation, which began on Monday, has already led to the arrest of several suspects and the seizure of weapons and drugs. “We are determined to put an end to the violence that has been plaguing our city,” said Brussels Mayor Philippe Close. “This operation is a clear signal that we will not tolerate gang activity in our streets.” The crackdown is part of a wider effort by the Belgian government to combat gang violence. In recent years, there has been a sharp increase in gang-related crime in Brussels, including shootings, assaults, and drug trafficking. “Gang violence is a serious threat to our communities,” said Belgian Interior Minister Jan Jambon. “We are committed to working with the police and other law enforcement agencies to bring those responsible to justice.” The Federal Police has set up a special task force to investigate gang violence in Brussels. The task force will be responsible for identifying and targeting gang members, as well as disrupting their activities. “We are confident that this operation will be successful in reducing gang violence in Brussels,” said Federal Police Commissioner Catherine De Bolle. “We will not rest until our streets are safe for all.” In addition to the police crackdown, the Federal Government of Belgium is also implementing a number of social programs to address the root causes of gang violence. These programs include job training, education, and counseling. “We believe that a comprehensive approach is necessary to combat gang violence,” said Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel. “We are committed to working with all levels of government and with community organizations to make our streets safe.” The crackdown on gang violence in Brussels is a welcome step in the fight against crime. It is hoped that the operation will be successful in reducing gang violence and making the city a safer place for all.
