PS: obviously, as writeaway suggested, you'll probably want to use sth with investigative/investigation, rather than use the term for the body itself.

Probably correct.
In particular if it fits the context.

Not too wild a guess I would say

May be an option as well

18:12 Nov 23, 2016

but requires a significant number of changes:

...van Antwerpen op sporingsinspectie onderzoek verricht

-->
- add 'de'
- change 'Antwerpen' in 'Antwerpse'
- remove space
- change 'o' into capital 'O'

...van Antwerpen op sporingsinspectie onderzoek verricht
...van de Antwerpse Opsporingsinspectie onderzoek verricht

I think it should be read as: (...) was intussen reeds in september 1992 door de collega's van de Opsporingsinspectie Antwerpen (or: Antwerpse Opsporingsinspectie) onderzoek verricht bij etc.

The official name seems to be Opsporingsinspectie van de Administratie der Douane en Accijnzen (here: te Antwerpen).

Sentence does not make sense:

17:48 Nov 23, 2016

...was intussen reeds in september 1992 door de collega's van Antwerpen op sporingsinspectie onderzoek verricht bij de transporteur CV Transport Jaak Smets, Lindestraat 3 te 3220 Holsbeek.

I would suggest instead:

...was intussen reeds in september 1992 door de collega's van Antwerpen opsporingsonderzoek verricht bij de transporteur CV Transport Jaak Smets, Lindestraat 3 te 3220 Holsbeek.

09:31 Nov 23, 2016

I think it is something like detective inspectorate.

typo

the actual word is opsporingsinspectie. if you break it down into two words, opsporing and inspectie, it won't be hard to find.
