A woman in her thirties has been under house arrest in Saint-Nazaire in Loire-Atlantique since Friday January 28, 2022. This is a decision by the investigative chamber of the Rennes Court of Appeal last week . This lady, arrested in May 2021, is accused of having participated in a vast drug trafficking throughout the West of France, report our colleagues from Courrier de la Mayenne.
12,000 euros in the pocket?
His role was clear: she was in charge of the financial transactions, and the logistics of this heroin trade. For example, she regularly rented cars at Nantes airport to get around. Sometimes as far as Tours where a regular customer lived. The money was then laundered via a consulting company in Mayenne in Laval. She would also have received 12,000 euros.
Contacted by France Bleu, the lawyer for this Nantes airport employee believes that she was “instrumentalized“by one of the brains of the network: a man with whom she tied”a strong romantic relationship“. She does not have the profile of a drug trafficker also defends Aristote Toussaint. But she is a woman “naive“who had some very bad encounters.
The 30-year-old has already spent eight months in pre-trial detention, like four other members of the network. His trial will not take place before 2023.
