Jamilah Habsaoui, mayor of Avallon, was indicted and imprisoned. One of his brothers, who admitted his involvement in trafficking, cleared the councilor.
A final man, presented by his lawyer as a simple consumer, was placed under judicial supervision. In addition to the 70 kilos of cannabis resin, the gendarmes got their hands on around twenty gold bars, according to the first elements communicated by the prosecution. The criminal lawyer, Me Lauwerie, tells us that the vast majority of the ingots found in this garage are in reality fakes“. Investigations are continuing in order to shed light on the sponsors of this drug trafficking and the owners of the products found, who have not been implicated to date, underlines the criminal lawyer Me César Lau Werwerie. The loot, a one-kilo ingot being estimated at 70,830 euros, has been revised down to just two bars, the prosecutor Hugues de Phily says.
