But who is it? Since the start of the week, the Reunionese authorities have gone on the offensive. Indeed, a major cocaine traffic between Reunion and Dubai has just been dismantled in Reunion. About ten arrests were carried out under the leadership of the OFAST, the anti-narcotics office, in collaboration with the command of the gendarmerie as well as the research section and the interministerial research group (GIR) according to Info 974.
It would be a traffic which would have started in 2019. The authorities suspect a significant traffic of cocaine but also of money laundering. Five people were brought before the Saint-Denis-de-La-Réunion court.
Influencer faces justice
Our colleagues from Info explain that two women were presented to the magistrate. They would be the companions and ex-companions of one of the masterminds of the operation. One of them is a Reunionese influencer also known in the world of television who regularly goes back and forth between Dubai and Reunion. Her social networks demonstrate a comfortable lifestyle, according to journalist Ophélie Maraval, who however did not reveal the identity of the influencer.
The journalist explained in particular that the two women are both suspected of money laundering and that their companions would have placed them at the head of import/export companies for luxury cars to cover up large illegal financial flows. This Friday, February 10, it is one of the small hands that was presented before the judge of freedoms and detention as noted by our colleagues from Info. This one would be 26 years old and is suspected of having taken charge of the money orders, by recovering the money. His lawyer, Maître Marius Rakotonirina indicated that he had been “placed under judicial review with regard to the elements of this case”. “It was the decision taken by the judge and it is true that my client has very serious guarantees, he is someone integrated both professionally and familiarly. It is a decision which seems logical to me in view of facts”, he later clarified.
