It is a well-organized and structured network of drug traffickers that has been dismantled by the judicial police.

On November 17, nine people suspected of being involved in cocaine trafficking with Guyana, were arrested in the Paris region and Le Havre, learns

from a police source.

They were brought before an investigating magistrate and indicted for drug trafficking in an organized gang.

The case began on September 3, 2019. Two men, who were preparing to fly to Orly airport, were arrested in Cayenne in possession of 30 kg of white powder.
