La surenchère pour exister mediatiquement
« Pas de solidarité nationale pour les ennemis de la République. Dans ma France à moi, le laxisme, la faiblesse, l’indulgence, c’est fini« .
C’est par ces mots de fermeté que Christian Estrosi a justifié cette princ annonce politique ce vendredi 6 octobre :
Suspendre le versement des allocations familiales versées à des trafiquants condamnés.
Comme cette décision ne relève pas de sa compétence municipale ni métropolitaine, il s’en remet au Procureur de la République de Nice, pour élaborer « une convention entre la CAF, la collectivité et les services de l’Etat pour que tout dealer, tout guetteur, tout trafiquant condamné ne touche plus d’allocations », a précisé le maire de Nice dans son discours.

Although a massive increase in cocaine seizures, the infiltration of port infrastructure and high-level art thefts have lately raised alarm bells in Germany, violent incidents have tended to be isolated and limited in scope. However, recent developments suggest that the country is not immune to the spillover effects of escalating criminal dynamics.
The ‘Mocro’ mafia
Germany’s illicit drug market is highly diversified and competitive. Criminal ecosystems in major German cities are dominated by a mix of networks – German, Russian-Eurasian, Turkish, Balkan, Arab, Kurdish and Italian, to name a few. These groups control different segments of the retail and wholesale markets, influencing different supply chains and regions across the country.
Among these networks is the so-called ‘Mocro’ mafia, a key player in smuggling cocaine valued at over €10 billion annually into ports in the Netherlands and Belgium, predominantly from Latin America. Its origins can be traced back to the 1960s, a period marked by significant Moroccan immigration to the Netherlands. However, the Mocro mafia embraces a broad array of criminal networks that include members of different ethnic backgrounds. With the particular Dutch mix of licit cannabis retailing and an illicit wholesale market, local criminal networks of the Mocro mafia benefitted massively from supplying the coffee shop business, growing in size and power.

Their convictions follow a National Crime Agency (NCA) investigation that led to NCA and Border Force officers discovering the drugs haul inside a shipping container at Tilbury Docks, Essex.
Daniel Yeboah, 54, Kristoffen Baidoo, 48, Kwaku Bonsu, 52, all from London, and Edward Adjei, 48, from Grays, were found guilty by a jury today (3 September) after a three-week trial at Southwark Crown Court.
Baidoo failed to appear at the trial, but was tried and found guilty in his absence.
All four men will be sentenced on 18 October.
The container arrived at Tilbury Docks from Ghana on 19 December 2019 where it was held before continuing its journey to London.
Intelligence obtained by the NCA and the Ghanaian Narcotics Control Commission suggested it contained drugs.

A search confirmed that 2,335 packages of herbal cannabis weighing a combined 1.5 tonnes were hidden inside white hessian sacks of Gari powder.
NCA officers estimate the street value of the drugs would have been approximately £4.3 million.
The drugs were seized from the sacks and replaced with dummy packages.
On the morning of 13 January 2020, the container travelled from Tilbury Docks on the back of a lorry to an industrial yard in north London under the watch of NCA officers.
It was met by Yeboah who signed the delivery note using a fake signature and a worker at the yard removed the container seal with an angle grinder.
Bonsu was observed by NCA officers circling round the industrial yard in his car before taking photographs of the container using his mobile phone, and Adjei was spotted dropping Baidoo off at the yard.
Seemingly realising the drugs were missing, they all then fled the site in different cars, abandoning the load shortly after the container was opened.
As the men left the area, NCA officers were in tow, and all were arrested later that day – Yeboah and Adjei in Homerton, Baidoo in Stratford and Bonsu in Edmonton.
Officers found a 10-tonne hydraulic press, often used for compressing drugs, at Baidoo’s address and seized a number of devices from the men, including mobile phones and dash cams from their vehicles.
Footage downloaded from the dash cam in Adjei’s Toyota picked up his phone calls to Baidoo and Yeboah shortly after the container arrived at the yard.
During a call with Yeboah, he said, “my brother, be a little watchful. It is all a little dodgy.”
Yeboah was also picked up on later calls telling Adjei, “I don’t think the food [drugs] is in it” and “there was Gari inside, they have removed most of the Gari. The people are thieves.”
Text messages and e-mails found on Baidoo’s mobile phone uncovered his plot to take delivery of the drugs at the yard, which he had rented under a fake name to disguise his identity.
It was also evidenced that a bank account belonging to Bonsu made multiple payments to a shipping company for the container to be delivered from Tilbury Docks to the north London yard.
NCA senior investigating officer Saju Sasikumar said: “Today’s result is testament to the joint international work between the NCA and the Ghanaian Narcotics Control Commission to intercept the drugs shipment, and the tireless efforts of our officers to identify the criminal group behind its importation.
“Had this huge haul of cannabis reached the UK supply chain, it would have fuelled exploitation through county lines activity as well serious violence and knife crime.
“Putting these harmful criminal groups before the courts and dismantling their illegal operations is a key part of the NCA’s mission to protect the public from serious and organised crime.”
