The operation to eradicate drug trafficking carried out by the government in Marseille, in Bouches-du-Rhônes, amuses certain delinquents according to one of them, contacted by 19/20 info.
Cars, weapons, 119 arrests and 20 kilos of cannabis seized. This is the still provisional assessment of the “place net” operation, for which Emmanuel Macron went to Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône), Tuesday March 19. An action described as “XXL” by the government, but with no real effect on traffic. At least that’s what a detainee, contacted by franceinfo from his cell, says: “With all the prisoners, we had a good laugh. It’s for the media, I think (…), but it doesn’t change much. We lose maybe ten days, come on, a month”he comments.
Active deal points the day after Macron’s visit
From the morning of Wednesday March 20, deal points were in fact active again in La Castellane, a city in the northern districts of Marseille. “But not for long”assures the prefect of Bouches-du-Rhône, who went to the site a few hours later.
