Forced to play "the mule" for dealers in Clos-des-Roses, Compiègne, Kamel A. was sentenced this Monday to 10 months in prison.


“I have a stupid debt.

I did not have the choice.

I got hit.

“At the bar of the court of Compiègne, Monday, Kamel A. is placed as a victim.

Sentenced in 2014 for drug trafficking, then imprisoned, he still owed money to the dealers in his network.

And they remembered… six years after his release from prison.

“I was asked to go to the north of France to collect money and drugs.

I have only done this three times.

The third was once too many.

The 33-year-old man was intercepted on November 23 by Customs while returning from a trip to Lille (North).

At the Ressons-sur-Matz rest area, on the A1, Customs officers focus on a Citroën C4 and decide to check it with a dog specialized in drug research.

“There were caches in the car.

We still found 15,000 euros in bundles packaged in cellophane and stashed in the airbag of the front passenger.

Under the pedestal of the center console, 14.10 grams of cannabis was concealed.

», Details the judge, Baptiste Bonnemort.

The driver is taken into custody.

"You didn't tell me if you got home well, Brother"

Meanwhile, a message from a Dutch number arrives on her “war phone”, as deputy prosecutor Marion Luna calls her: “You didn't tell me if you were back home, Brother.

“In the smartphone, there is little indication of potential traffic.

To communicate, dealers use Signal, an encrypted messaging system.

A search was then organized at Kamel Akrour's home.

The police found more than 150 grams of cannabis on his balcony.

In addition to playing the mule, the respondent also acknowledges playing the nanny.

"It was supposed to stay with me for a day, no more, but I had had it for a week."

I couldn't say no, I was afraid for my family and for myself.

"

Placed in pre-trial detention since his arrest, the defendant was sentenced to 10 months in prison.

He was banned from appearing in Compiègne for two years and had the seals confiscated: drugs, car and money.
