Friday in Marseille, the Minister of the Interior and the Minister of Justice formulated guidelines and proposals for the fight against drug trafficking, namely drug trafficking. Mayor of Le Creusot, president of the CUCM and co-president of the France Urbaine safety commission, David Marti reacts to their proposals: “It’s going in the right direction,” he assures, “but can do better in terms of prevention”.
Marseille was the epicenter, on Friday, of the first commitment by the Government of Michel Barnier, to fight against the dizzying increase in drug trafficking. The Minister of the Interior Bruno Retailleau, and the Minister of Justice Didier Migaud, went to the Marseille city to formulate a certain number of guidelines and proposals to fight against this scourge which now affects all cities and towns. all territories.
A leading subject which, as of Thursday, saw the socialists Jérôme Durain and Olivier Faure give a press conference in the Senate, where a bill will be examined from January.
With his role as co-president of the France Urbaine security commission, David Marti, reacted to the ministerial proposals. He approves the directions announced by Bruno Retailleau and Didier Migaud in terms of repression, but asks for more commitments in terms of prevention. And in this sense, he is worried about the drop in the number of civil servants which could affect the Police and Justice.

David Marti's video interview:
The main recommendations of the Government:
Prevention: A communication campaign to reveal the links between the use of narcotics, violence against
traffickers and the offenses that result from them. Those who have not yet done so must open their eyes to the scale of the phenomenon.
Investigations :
Develop digital survey tools
Dismantling the Financial Cogs
4th magistrate dedicated to organized crime in the EU
Create a European judicial shield
Prosecutions:
Hearing times too long: creation of 5 additional judge positions in Paris
Strengthening JIRS (Inter-regional Jurisdictions specialized in the fight against organized crime)
Sanctions :
In incarceration, fine detection of profiles of high-end inmates and creation of specific neighborhoods to prevent the continuation of their criminal activities.
Strengthen judicial seizure and confiscation capacities
Concerning minors:
develop the “minor lookout” system initiated in Marseille, by setting up a dedicated day center and increasing the reception capacity in a closed educational center for minors most entrenched in delinquency.
Take victims into account
A particular mission will be entrusted to the interministerial delegate for victim assistance (DIAV), to assess the specific needs of victims of organized crime, as close as possible to the field throughout the territory.
The principle of “taking from criminals to give back to victims” will be favored
New legislative tools
Improving the diet of repentants
Extend exceptional means of investigation: e.g. extension of the medical GAV deadline for mules
Extend the scope of the specially composed assize courts already provided for terrorism cases, extended to organized gang crimes and the crime of criminal association with a view to committing these crimes.
Create an offense of criminal association extended to assassinations and accompanied by a penalty of criminal imprisonment.
Adapt the judicial framework to the minors concerned.
Put an end to the idea, false, according to
which minority would be synonymous with impunity.
The conditions allowing the exclusion of the excuse of minority will be relaxed, for those over 16 years of age and the most serious offenses committed in a situation of legal recidivism.
