Overview

  • Police detained six suspects, including two dockers, on September 23 during a coordinated operation at the Port of Le Havre.
  • Investigators seized about 63.9 to 64 kilograms of cocaine, including 36 bricks hidden in rubble sacks in a truck cabin and 19 bricks detected inside a container by scanner.
  • Customs intelligence alerted authorities, and Ofast and the BRI led surveillance and arrests as part of a targeted anti‑trafficking probe.
  • The suspects were placed in custody and then brought before judicial authorities between Thursday and Friday, facing allegations tied to organized drug importation.
  • Most of those questioned remained silent and one admitted the facts, as investigators continue to examine the network’s logistics and the potential role of port personnel following a probe opened on September 11.
