In Nice and Cannes, more than half of delinquent acts are committed by foreigners, according to the prefect. Hugues Moutouh underlined “a clear increase” in villainous predations and thefts committed by foreign nationals.
The man who arrived in Maralpine land at the end of October with the nickname “bulldozer prefect” insists on his desire to carry out the “systematic expulsion” of these individuals. 344 people were expelled from the department in 2023 (including 219 offenders), and since January, 65 people including 40 offenders have been returned to their country of origin.
