End of the line for this cocaine transporter. A 41-year-old man was indicted on Friday in Paris for drug trafficking. This 40-year-old of Moroccan origin had been actively sought since last January as part of an extensive investigation into the trafficking that stretched between the Paris region and Lyon (Rhône).
This criminal was arrested on Thursday as he got off the plane by the police who were firmly waiting for him. And for good reason, the suspect had asked his lawyer to negotiate his surrender by warning him of the time of his arrival in France. Grizzled hair, short of money and with a broken arm, the smuggler was the victim of a car accident in the kingdom of Cherifian on 18 August. An event that accelerated his decision to return to France.
4 kg of cocaine worth 250,000 euros
At the beginning of the year, when the police operation was launched, he had taken care to warn all his accomplices before getting busy. “But he also destroyed his phones, explains a source familiar with the matter. His bank account was inactive and he no longer paid the rent for his apartment in Seine-Saint-Denis. “
In this trafficking directed by a certain “Quatro”, the 1940s occupied the role of drug transporter who transported the product to the dealers. It was on January 18, 2022 that the police carried out a search in a Parisian apartment. Officials arrested a woman who was serving as a nanny and most importantly got their hands on 4 kg of white powder for an estimated value of 250,000 euros at the resale price. This woman was indicted and then jailed before being released four months later. She fully explained her involvement in this case.
The trafficker arrested once he got off the plane was taken into custody but preferred to keep quiet. Brought before the investigating judge, he remained just as calm.
