Business was going pretty well for a 24-year-old from Roubais, until he was thrown out. Because his particularly lucrative business had certainly allowed him to amass a nice sum of money, but in a completely illegal manner. So he ended up being indicted and placed in pre-trial detention, we learned from the Lille public prosecutor's office.
Last September, an anonymous informant gave valuable information on a delivery of narcotics to take place in the Lille metropolis. The tip is serious and the Lille public prosecutor's office opens an investigation which it entrusts to the territorial crime division of the North.
A safe hidden behind a fake socket
A suspect is quickly identified, a young man of 24, unemployed, who lives with his mother in Roubaix. Five months later, the investigators have enough evidence to call their client to account directly and the arraignment is scheduled for January 6. It is therefore at his mother's house that the suspect is arrested after jumping out of bed.
The search of the maternal home allowed the police to find a kilo of cannabis but also “more than 180,000 euros” in cash. According to the Lille public prosecutor's office, “part of the money was hidden in a safe sealed in the wall of the bathroom behind a false electrical outlet.” Another kilo of cannabis was discovered in a cellar which the suspect was using and 80,000 euros were seized from his bank accounts.

A judicial investigation was opened immediately and the young man was indicted in particular for “possession, transport, offer or transfer of narcotics”. He is currently in pre-trial detention.
