“It tells me that you are being controlled. Is the money well hidden? If asked, say it was for a car … ”
In the night from Thursday 14 July to Friday 15 July 2022, mortar fire is raining and the police are on the lookout. It is in this context that a patrol notices the driver of a suspicious Audi A1, in the municipality of Sainte-Geneviève-des-Boisin Exon.
When he saw the police, he panicked. In particular, he has to try several times to be able to turn around. His gaze is fleeting.
18,960 euros found in the glove compartment
The police officers therefore decided to carry out a identity check. Submerged, Carlo *, 27-year-old uber driverhe is suddenly seized with logorrhea.
Then he points with his eyes, without even doing it on purpose, the glove compartment of the car. Inside, the police unearth many bags full of banknotes. In total there are 18,960 euros.
And, as a second individual approaches the scene more or less discreetly, Charles evokes a meeting that was to take place not far from here… The Breton had to deliver his luggage there to an intermediary.
The clues put the police on the trail of drug trafficking
The patrol quickly establishes the connection and checks the other young man, wandering around with the phone in hand. He just notified the sponsor.
The intermediary is called Assan *. He is 22 years old. In the photo gallery of his smartphone, the agents discover, among other things, images of narcotics and stones.
The two individuals are placed in police custody, therefore under judicial control.
Involved (at least) a third individual
The traffic trail is explored and the investigators finally detect drug residues on banknoteswhich (probably) would have crossed cutting places.
During his auditions, Charles reveals that he was contacted by an individual on Snapchat. The latter would have offered to carry baggage from Rennes to Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois, for a 300 euro banknote.
The Breton would have accepted the race. AND, a man got into the car in Saint-Malo to put the famous bags in the glove compartment, without Charles knowing what they contained.
Then he would be ordered to go Exon where you would expect. The meeting address would be given to her ten minutes before the meeting.
Relaxation and simple respite
Finally presented to the judge on Wednesday 12 October 2022, at Evry CourcouronnesCharles and Assan fell through the cracks.
Since the judge cannot definitively prove the intentional element of the offense, namely the laundering or concealment of the proceeds of a drug trafficking offense, Carlo was released during his hearing in the tenth correctional chamber.
With regard to Assan, the intentional element being characterized, in particular thanks to the exploitation of his telephone, the young man received aa prison sentence of six months with suspension of the sentence.
