Emmanuel Macron in Guyana: the fight against trafficking at the heart of his visit. The Matouri river and nautical brigade has just been equipped with a new boat to hunt traffickers.
Illegal gold panning is one of the trafficking activities that the brigade is fighting against. Drug trafficking, arms trafficking, the arrival of illegal immigrants are part of their missions. Sometimes, interventions are dangerous: a year ago, Major Arnaud Blanc was killed during an operation against illegalGold panning.
