Several French arrests were attacked at night in response to government’s efforts to repress drug trafficking, they said high officials on Tuesday, while fighting what they called the cocaine “tsunami” that enters the country.
The attackers shot automatic weapons against arrest in the city of Toulon in the south of the country, while the vehicles were burned outside of other arrests across the country and employees were threatened. It was not immediately clear whether the attacks were coordinated or those who performed them.
Justice Minister Gérald Dermanin, who guided the efforts to harden the safety of prisons and repress the criminals who manage their empires behind the bars, said he would travel to Toulon.
“Attempts have been made to intimidate employees in various arrests, from vehicles on fire to the trigger of automatic weapons,” Dermanin wrote to X. “I go to Toulon to support the police involved. The French Republic is facing the problem of drug trafficking and is taking actions that will greatly diminish the criminal networks.”
The interior minister Bruno Retailleau said he had instructed the local mayors, together with the police, immediately intensifying employees and the arrest of the protection.
“The state’s response must be relentless,” he wrote to X. “those who attack prison prisons and officers must be blocked in these arrests and observed by these agents”.
The French media reported that the arrests were included in Tolone, Aix-en-Provence, Marseille, Valentce and Nimes, in the south of France, and Villepinte and Nanterre, near Paris.
Years of cocaine record from South America to Europe have overloaded local drug markets, triggering a wave of violence related to drugs throughout the continent.
France has not been spared, with cocaine recordings and gangs that gathered fruit from white dust while expanding in the city like Marseille to smaller regional cities, not used to drug addicted violence.
The increase in group crimes raised support for the far -right party party and helped drag French politics to the right. Dermanin, a former interior minister, and Retailleau have given priority to the fight against drug trafficking.
