Aviseur International renseigne, sans complaisance, sur la problématique de la drogue, du narcotrafic, de la corruption et sur les politiques mises en œuvre par les différents Etats et les dérives que s'autorisent les fonctionnaires des administrations — marcfievet@live.fr — 33 (0) 6 84 30 31 81
Un camionneur arrêté au pont Blue Water il y a deux semaines pour trafic de cocaïne a été libéré sous caution de 200 000 dollars.
Mais Ravinderbir Singh, 23 ans, de Brampton, ne sera pas libéré de la prison de Sarnia tant que lui et ses cautions n’auront pas réuni l’argent, qui comprend un dépôt de 60 000 $, et qu’un dispositif de localisation GPS ne sera pas attaché à sa cheville.
Les drogues saisies sont le résultat de 14 interceptions dans les eaux internationales du Pacifique oriental, et 35 narcos présumés ont été transférés sur terre pour faire face à des poursuites fédérales devant les tribunaux américains.
C’est une grande différence par rapport à la France, qui se débarrasse des marchandises en les détruisant en haute mer et laisse libre l’équipage du navire lorsqu’elle les intercepte dans les eaux internationales, comme cela s’est encore produit récemment dans le golfe de Guinée.

Pour Rue89, Jean Henri Hoguet ancien patron de la DNRED (1987-1991) a accepté de répondre, par mail, à quelques questions.
Comment expliquez-vous l’absence de soutien des responsables politiques vis-à-vis de Fiévet ?
Les dits « responsables » se sentent éventuellement concernés par les actions qu’ils ont conduites ou autorisées ou qui sont intervenues durant leur mandat, mais rarement pour celles qui sont intervenues des années auparavant. A fortiori lorsque la majorité politique a changé.
Pensez-vous que cette affaire puisse remettre en cause le système des aviseurs ?
Plus qu’un aviseur, Fiévet était un infiltré. Il est clair que ne pas soutenir un infiltré ne peut que tarir le recrutement.
L’aviseur normal ne doit pas s’attendre à une protection particulière. Il donne une information, on l’exploite et si il y a un résultat il sera rémunéré en fonction de celui-ci. Tout ce qu’on lui garantit, c’est de conserver son anonymat.
Marc Fiévet estime que certains de ses signalements n’ont pas débouché sur une intervention des douanes…
C’est vraisemblable et c’est normal. Toutes ces affaires sont internationales, elles mettent en jeu de nombreux services et les informations doivent transiter par des chaines hiérarchiques relevant de plusieurs pays.Vous pouvez ajouter le facteur temps, souvent essentiel, le facteur météo, la chance ou la malchance, pour comprendre que donner une info et réaliser une affaire sont deux choses différentes.
Comment se situe la France, en matière de lutte contre le trafic international ?
En Europe ,je crois que nous sommes parmi les gens qui comptent, comme les Britanniques. Il faut tout de même savoir que l’on estime que l’on n’arrête que 5 à 10% de la drogue et qu’il a été jusqu’ici impossible de faire mieux. Beaucoup de pays font plus mal ! C’est le problème de la demande qu’il faudrait traiter, car il est illusoire de croire que l’on règlera la question en jugulant l’offre, ce qui est impossible dans un monde de plus en plus ouvert, avec des Etats aux motivations souvent antagonistes. Croit-on résoudre l’alcoolisme en supprimant l’alcool ?
Que faudrait-il changer pour accroître l’action des douanes en la matière ?
Le problème ne concerne pas que la douane, mais aussi la police et la gendarmerie. Il faut développer le renseignement aux plans national et international. L’échange de renseignements se heurte à de nombreuses difficultés : égoïsme des services qui travaillent d’abord pour eux mêmes, rivalités entre services, confidentialité des sources, rémunération des indics,etc.
Après le triste exemple Fiévet, il faudrait se donner les moyens d’avoir des infiltrés, de s’en occuper, de leur fournir protection. Ce qui implique des moyens considérables, notamment juridiques. Je doute qu’on en prenne le chemin, car les efforts à consentir ne peuvent être garantis au niveau des résultats à en escompter.

Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, alias « El Mencho », est le fondateur et chef du cartel de nouvelle génération de Jalisco (CJNG). Il a été à l’avant-garde de la transformation de ce qui était autrefois une faction criminelle naissante en l’un des groupes criminels les plus redoutés du Mexique. aujourd’hui.
En tant que chef du CJNG, El Mencho dirigerait les opérations criminelles du groupe dans les États de Jalisco, Colima, Michoacán, Guanajuato, Veracruz et Chiapas, où le cartel est un acteur majeur du trafic de cocaïne, de méthamphétamine, d’héroïne et de fentanyl, ainsi que du vol de pétrole, de la traite des êtres humains, de l’extorsion et du trafic de migrants.
El Mencho aurait également ordonné l’assassinat de plusieurs hommes politiques mexicains. En mars 2013, un suspect dans le meurtre du secrétaire au tourisme de Jalisco, Jesús Gallegos Álvarez, a déclaré qu’El Mencho avait autorisé l’attaque parce qu’il soupçonnait le responsable de collaborer avec les Templiers. Le CJNG serait également à l’origine du meurtre du député Gabriel Gómez Michel en septembre 2014. Bien que le motif soit inconnu, Gómez Michel avait été maire d’El Grullo, un fief du CJNG dans l’État de Jalisco, où se trouvait apparemment El Mencho.

In total, more than 66lb of 330,000 pills were confiscated
In a statement released on Friday, CHP officers in Stockton, about 50 miles south of the capital city of Sacramento, said that last month, while conducting a traffic stop on Interstate 5 highway near Airport Boulevard, officers uncovered “an alarming amount of fentanyl-laced pills” after a police dog signaled the scent of narcotics.
