Authorities in the Netherlands have discovered an apparent torture site hidden inside shipping containers, which were lined with sound-proofing material and filled with assumed torture devices, the country's National Prosecutor's Office has said.

Officers raided the site at Wouwse Plantage on the Dutch-Belgian border on June 22, arresting six men suspected of kidnapping and hostage taking.
They found six shipping containers which had been converted to what are believed to be "prison cells," as well as a stash of weaponry including pruning shears and loppers.
"In each of the cells, handcuffs were attached to the ceiling and floor, in order to be able to chain someone standing up with their arms raised," the statement said. "The rooms were finished with noise isolating panels and heat-insulating foil."
One of the units also contained a dental chair, with straps for feet and arms. "The sea container with the dental chair contained bags with objects that were presumably intended to torture or at least put pressure on victims," the statement added.

"The police found, among other things, pruning shears, loppers, a branch saw, scalpels, pliers, extra handcuffs, fingercuffs, tape, balaclavas, and black cotton bags that can be pulled over the head. During a search at a home in Rotterdam, 24 kilos of MDMA was also found."
The containers were also fitted with cameras for remote monitoring.

Officers also found three stolen delivery vans, two BMWs, seven handguns and a Chinese variant of the AK-47. "In total, 25 weapons were found with the suspects," the National Prosecutor's Office said.

These people were clearly some big time drug/crime lords

Okay, that makes a lot more sense than some weird bondage orgy club.

Yet another case of prohibition itself causing more societal harm than the prohibited vice.

Dutch person here. Agreed, our prison system is way too soft.

If that's the cost of having a rehabilitative prison system then sure.

Do you really think that the kind of people that have elaborate torture chambers can be rehabilitated in any way?

You're exaggerating, right?

I remember the Norwegian guy who killed 77 Muslims back in 2011 got the maximum life penalty of 21 years, but they also said that he would still never get out of jail most likely.

No, but that wasn't my point. I was more referring to other offenders. Yes these people get a nice ride, but they aren't the only criminals in the system.

Probably belonged to Ghislaine or her handlers

Since nobody pointed it out here, the chambers thankfully never got used.

Police intercepted millions of messages including that of one of the suspects, a 40-year-old man from The Hague. Investigators were able to access his contacts via an Encrochat phone.

After locating the containers in April in Wouwse Plantage, near the Belgian border, police put the area under observation and found that multiple men were working on them almost every day. When the containers were almost finished, investigators decided to intervene.
