Levies on the profits of dealers, but also on their goods, theft of contraband cigarettes seized on the street vendors: "

Everything goes

", accuses in October 2012 the prosecutor of Marseille Jacques Dallest, confiding his "

feeling that a gangrene affected this service

”.

The instruction, concluded in June 2019, stigmatizes “

the systematic carrying out of criminal offenses, (...) each operation becoming in reality a pretext either for the attribution of products with a view to possible remuneration of unofficial informants, or to personal enrichment

”.

On eavesdropping, on their phones, or monitored in their offices and cars, "with
