Caliweed Drug Ring Leader Orders Attack on Network’s Banker from Morocco Hideout

Recruited by the dealers as a "money launderer for drug money" between June 2020 and January 2021, this 29-year-old man with a clean criminal record and a vocational diploma in accounting would go to the parking lot of the Vélizy 2 shopping center (Yvelines) to collect the money from the delivery men who criss-cross the entire region to sell cannabis and cocaine, reports Le Parisien. He was obliged to hand over 50,000 euros (once mobilized) from the sales to a collector. The latter will be responsible for having it reach the sponsor.

One single mistake cost him dearly. "Men sent on a mission by the big boss of Caliweed, nicknamed ’50’ or ’the Big Guy’, beat him up. The reason? "The boy wanted to pay himself a salary on the takings," says a source close to the case. Frightened after this violence, the accountant resigned from his "drug money banker" position. He now works in a store that sells... CBD.

The police managed to dismantle part of the network and arrest nine men. Arrested in December 2021, the former banker is in custody. He does not deny the facts he is accused of. However, he claims to have only transported small sums, between 1000 and 1500 euros. He would have received a salary of 1000 euros per month. "We all make mistakes," he regrets
