Nestori Mashaka and Mehdi Mouti, the "heads of network" of this heroin trafficking established in the Argentine district, were sentenced respec


Until the end, the trial will have been "out of the ordinary".

In any case, in its configuration.

Five days of trial, fifteen accused (including seven in the box), thousands of pages of proceedings, and no less than… eight hours of deliberation.

According to estimates made by the police, the turnover of the three deal points located on the ZUP would have amounted to nearly 70,000 euros per month.

But on the merits, this trial, which was intended to be that of “the biggest drug trafficking in the last ten years” in Beauvais (Oise) “gave birth to a mouse”, as one lawyer summarizes it.

Nestori Mashaka and Mehdi Mouti, considered to be the “heads of the network” of this heroin trafficking established in the Argentine district, were respectively sentenced to 6 and 5 years of detention.

The public prosecutor had requested eight and seven years in prison against them.

The other sentences range from 36 months of detention (including 12 suspended sentences) to eight months suspended.

In particular, three of the defendants, including two who appeared to be detained, were acquitted of the charges against them.

A release loudly greeted by a support committee that came in large numbers to the courtroom.

"A network of sad banality"

All that for this ?

"It was indeed a big file by its volume, but not a big file from a legal point of view", repeats Me Maxime Gallier.

"The requisitions were above ground," breathes another.

"A trial which lasted five days only because there were fifteen people to judge and the investigation was long", abounds Me Jérôme Crépin.

A river trial for the most ordinary traffic - "a network of sad banality", said the public prosecutor - in which everyone sought to minimize their participation.

"I am put at the head of this network but I have never brought narcotics," Nestori Mashaka, the most heavily condemned, repeated this Friday.

In this story, there were only deductions, we suppose ... But there is no confirmation.

"

Substantial means had however been put in place to bring to light this vast trafficking in heroin and cocaine which took place between October 2018 and June 2020 in the working-class district of the city prefecture.

Numerous telephone investigations - at least eight telephone interceptions - as well as the sound system of several vehicles had been carried out by the investigators, alerted by repeated reports.
