Four men were indicted on Tuesday in Paris for drug trafficking and a fifth in Versailles. In total Friday in the Yve


This is what the police call "a handsome guy".

Kamel A was among the top 14 drug traffickers wanted by investigators from the regional directorate of the judicial police of Versailles.

Four men, aged 30 to 40, were indicted on Tuesday by a judge of the interregional jurisdiction of Paris, for trafficking and importing narcotics before being imprisoned.

It was last May that the investigators set out in Kamel's footsteps.

Originally from Douai (North) married and father of two children, this forty-something athletic physique has already been sentenced to 12 years in prison in 2015 in Bordeaux (Gironde) for a drug case before being imprisoned.

Under the semi-liberty regime, he had been granted an exit permit but never returned to his cell.

Actively sought after, he remained elusive.

“He was homeless, very mobile.

For a year and a half, he had been hiring different teams, on an ad hoc basis, to import cannabis and cocaine by car from Spain and the Benelux ”, specifies a source close to the affair.

Investigators placed their suspects and accomplices under surveillance for several months.

In particular, they put beacons under their cars.

They have installed sound systems in the vehicles.

The drugs were stored in a warehouse

And Friday evening in Guerville (Yvelines), the men of the research and intervention brigade (BRI) and the investigators of the narcotics surprised the criminals in a warehouse where were stored a truck and the drugs which had just come back from Spain .

Two suspects, including Kamal, were arrested on the spot red-handed while unloading packages of drugs.

The police got their hands on 191 kilos of cannabis resin.

Two other criminals were arrested during the weekend at their homes in Mureaux and Argenteuil (Val-d'Oise).

The quartet was taken into custody in Versailles.

During their interrogation, the four men admitted to the possession and transport of the narcotics.

Officials believe Kamel's activities go far beyond what is apparent today.

"We know that he is behind the importation of 890 kilos seized by customs officials in November 2020 in the Pyrénées-Atlantique", blows a source close to the case.

In addition and without any link, a truck driver was arrested on Friday evening by customs officers at the Saint-Arnoult-en-Yvelines toll, on the A10 motorway, with a cargo of 300 kg of resin.

This man was indicted on Tuesday by a judge in Versailles while the investigations are just beginning in this case.
