There were a lot of people this Friday morning at the Arawak hotel, the place chosen to organize a very special auction: those of objects and other products seized or confiscated during police or gendarmerie operations. A sale which will compensate the victims or quite simply, supplement the State budget and particularly the Ministry of Justice.
To understand this exceptional sale, you must first know what it is about and at the same time what this sale will be used for. Because this was no ordinary auction.
