First assessment of the “Place Nete” anti-drug trafficking operations carried out by the authorities. They seem to be working, but the downside is that once the police have left, the traffickers quickly take back possession of the premises. New acts of intimidation and homicides have been recorded since the beginning of the summer and these operations to reconquer territories are appearing in several large cities in France, particularly in Seine-Saint-Denis and Grenoble. Explanations from Yann Bisiou, lecturer in private law and criminal sciences at Paul-Valéry University in Montpellier, a specialist in drug law.
