Dismantling of a Limousin trafficking network
According to ici.fr, three drug traffickers were sentenced to custodial terms on Monday in Limoges following searches conducted by Haute-Vienne police. Investigators seized 5 kg of cannabis resin, nearly half a kilogram of cocaine and 45,000 euros in cash. The investigation focused on a network operating in the Limousin capital and extending to neighbouring departments in Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
Police officers arrested the main suspects on 3 November after lengthy investigations. The four people arrested admitted their involvement in the trafficking. Tried in immediate appearance on 9 November, three of them received sentences. The first received three years of custodial imprisonment; the second three years, one of which was suspended; the third two years, ten months of which was suspended. All three were remanded in custody. The fourth person under investigation is subject to judicial control and will be tried at a later date.
The searches revealed handguns, rifles and bundles of banknotes seized during the dismantling. This outcome crowns several months of work by investigators from Haute-Vienne police aimed at dismantling the network's supply and distribution circuits.
