A simple traffic control and the future of a Spanish driver changed on August 8, 2021 at 2:10 p.m., in the north-south direction at Kanfen on the A31. The customs officers of Thionville have selected her minivan at the wheel of which the young woman declares to come from Amsterdam. She went up there for the weekend to attend Gay Pride before heading south to return home to the Costa Brava. During the visit of the vehicle, the agents discovered a first empty fitted cache under a false floor in the trunk. They decide to deepen the investigations and put their noses under the back seat where they update two other very sophisticated. Opening them reveals the presence of four 10 l cans which contained a yellowish liquid and two 5 l cans filled with an orange liquid. Nothing to do with fruit juice. They all react to the drug test. The traveler is placed in customs detention, her minivan is entrusted to the gendarmerie and samples are sent for analysis in Strasbourg and Paris. The traveler is brought closer, to the bar of her immediate appearance, on Friday, August 13, before the judicial court of Thionville.
She left the hearing with 18 months firm and her continued detention in addition to a ban from French territory for 3 years, the confiscation of drugs and her vehicle and finally a customs fine of 103,125 euros. In 2020, French customs intercepted 359 kg of amphetamines.
