So what?  An arrest inside the Netherlands, not just an interception at the French border, gives investigators their first real lead into the receiving end of a network that has evaded capture of its principal for years — watch whether Dutch prosecutors move from "information linking" to a formal charge naming Leijdekkers. The confirmed near-4,000-kilogram weight makes this among France's largest single cocaine interceptions this year, reinforcing Ghana-origin waste-shipment concealment as a method worth flagging on similar routings.
