Fugitive Drug Lord Faces 15-Year Sentence as French Authorities Crack Down on Cannabis Ring

In June 2019, the Nîmes Research Section in coordination with the GIGN had arrested a team on the A9 during a go-fast. More than 100 kilos of cannabis had been seized.

The prosecution has demanded sentences ranging from 4 to 15 years in prison for the fugitive man and detention for most of the eight defendants, reports Objectif gard. The defense has begun to present its pleadings before the criminal court.
