Guadeloupe: prisoner convicted of murder suspected of running cocaine trafficking operation from his cell

A 32-year-old man, imprisoned for a homicide committed in Guadeloupe, is accused of continuing to run a drug operation from within a mainland penitentiary facility. According to information reported by Le Parisien and relayed by France-Antilles Guadeloupe, investigators believe that Cédric Lucina, known by the nickname "Toto Bing", maintained his grip on a cocaine importation network despite his incarceration.

Sentenced in 2020 to 15 years' imprisonment for a murder that occurred in July 2018 in Sainte-Rose, the prisoner from the archipelago is once again the subject of judicial attention. Paris's investigating chamber examined his request for release and rejected it on Monday. The magistrates therefore decided to keep him in custody on the mainland.

The suspicions weighing on this Guadeloupe resident concern the organisation of a cocaine trafficking operation that he allegedly coordinated from his cell, demonstrating according to investigators a persistent capacity to exercise criminal influence despite prison isolation.
