A total of three new large-scale operations of this type will be launched, including one in Dijon, a police source told AFP.
Some 900 police, security guards and customs officers were mobilized on the first day of the operation in Marseille and Bouches-du-Rhône. Three days after the operation began, 22 kilograms of drugs were seized, 71 people were arrested, more than 385 thousand euros in cash or goods and four weapons were seized.
In accordance with Le FigaroThese operations follow one launched last Tuesday, March 19, in Marseille by President Emmanuel Macron, who visited the region. During his visit, President Macron promised that about ten operations of this type would take place in France over the next few weeks. “This is an unprecedented operation that we launched to put an end to drug trafficking and guarantee republican order,” the head of state explained.
