Nine anti-drug operations labeled “XXL net space” have been carried out in France since their launch in March. How effective are they in the long term? In Dijon, Côte-d’Or, lawyers doubt that these operations will bring down the networks.
The operations “XXL net space” aim to have police and gendarmes present 24 hours a day in neighborhoods undermined by drug trafficking. In this fight against drugs, the government has made the city of Dijon (Côte-d’Or) one of of its priorities. In Fontaine d’Ouche, one of the sensitive districts of Dijon, several shootings have taken place recently Since the end of March, the police have returned en masse. France Télévisions say they are reassured, but are concerned about the legal response.
The Dijon court now under tension
However, the judicial pressure does not let up. In less than a month, 23 people were detained, including three men who were tried immediately that day. The Dijon court is now under tension. Will these “XXL net square” operations make it possible to bring down the networks? The lawyers doubt it. For the public prosecutor in Dijon, Olivier Caracotch, the basic work is well done, but it is not necessarily visible. In a few months, the security of the Olympic Games could well force the Ministry of the Interior to lighten its system.
