Police services have dismantled a criminal organisation active in the trade of illicit goods in the Dijon metropolitan area and internationally. The investigation revealed a turnover generated by this structure approaching two million euros.

A 28-year-old man residing in the metropolis was presented to investigating magistrates on 27 May. He has been in custody since the beginning of May, charged with production of prohibited substances and participation in a criminal association. Before the judges, he expressed regret: "I let myself get drawn into this story which is beyond me, I was weak."

Six other suspects were questioned and charged in this case. Investigators identified an individual as the head of the organisation, but he has not yet been located and is the subject of a wanted notice. The man in his thirties already in prison requested his provisional release under judicial supervision.

The magistrate presiding over the investigative chamber presented the results of the inquiry that made it possible to dismantle this network. Complete information is accessible via the original article.
