Chinese wholesalers from Aubervilliers accused of laundering money from international drug trafficking

Bingwu Z. has his face buried in his hands.

His father takes the stand of the Paris Criminal Court.

For a month, 21 defendants and eight companies were questioned in this vast case of organized gang money laundering within textile wholesalers in the Chinese community of Aubervilliers (Seine-Saint-Denis), in 2014 and 2015. It appears that Vetis , Bingwu’s company, is “involved at a very high level”.

Bingwu, 38, his 34-year-old wife, Haïmeng Z., and his parents were cooked for five hours by President Armelle Briand in one of Cifa's first major trials.

This France Asia International Center is home to 280 traders (out of the 2,000 in total on the “Chinese Trail”), all from the Wenzhou region, 500 km south of Shanghai.

Its turnover is estimated at more than one billion euros.
