It all started with anonymous information received by the Ofast (Anti-Narcotics Office) police officers in 2022. A drug delivery is planned the next day in the ZAC de l’Orme, in Belloy-en-France. “A truck with a semi-trailer registered in Bulgaria reverses into a garage while a man keeps watch. A white van arrives a little later, followed by a second,” relates The Parisian. The police arrived on site and arrested five men and seized 114 packets of pollen (highly concentrated cannabis) near the truck, or 1,055 kg. On the garage mezzanine, they discovered 18 kg and the packaging of 16 packages. The market value of the cargo is expected to bring in between 3.5 and 8 million euros.

The court sentenced six people to sentences ranging from 4 to 8 years in prison on November 24, 2023. Tried in his absence, Mohamed Y. received the heaviest sentence. Last September, he was arrested in Morocco, which put an end to his run. After his arrest, he was transferred to France. “He was identified as the sponsor and the principal, having coordinated the delivery,” indicated the president when reading the summary of the file. He will be acquitted for the acts of complicity in importation and criminal association, but sentenced to seven years in prison for complicity in possession of drugs last Friday. He was also fined 70,000 euros.
