Two years. This is the time that the drug trafficking of the two defendants would have lasted. A traffic in cannabis resin essentially, which the two friends, tried in immediate appearance, would have organized from their apartment in Désertines between January 2020 and February 2022.
Cannabis resin trafficking
In the box of the defendants, the two Bourbonnais, one 20 years old and the other 22 years old, recognize this traffic and explain that they wanted to finance their consumption. “Even if I also sold to buy stuff and make money,” admits the youngest, who also admits trafficking in cigarettes and the sale, “once,” of ecstasy.
“And you offer weapons too…”, launches the president, referring to a rusty pistol and a shotgun that the young man would have offered to a client.
“No, I never had them in my hands, I just wanted to play it smart by pretending that I had them. »

Because before the court, the two Bourbonnais assure, in tears, after several days of pre-trial detention, wanting to change their lives and wanting to draw a line under the narcotics community. “I would like to have a second chance. I want to stop this shitty life of a dealer, ”says the oldest. ” I will change. I will take myself in hand, ”argues the youngest.
