FRANCE 🇫🇷 (DOD de la Dnred) : tenue correcte exigée pour aller au palais

Veut-on réellement connaître la réalité des pratiques de la DNRED ?

La vérité au bout de ce procès… Peut-être !

Quand la justice a face à elle une administration qui ne respecte pas ses décisions

Que pourrait-elle espérer de cette mascarade où chacun restera droit dans ses bottes au mépris de la réalité des faits inavouables ?

FRANCE 🇫🇷 (procès de douaniers de la DNRED) : valse à mille temps au grand bal des tartuffes

« C’est un métier où l’on parle peu, on écrit peu ».

De l’omerta des ports aux « légendes » sans visage, l’organisation opaque et « borderline » de la crème des douaniers se dessine au procès de six cadres jugés à Paris pour corruption lors d’importations frauduleuses.

Devant le tribunal correctionnel depuis le 9 mai, les plus hauts gradés de la Direction nationale du renseignement et des enquêtes douanières (DNRED) maîtrisent le verbe et l’attitude, costumes impeccables, chaussures élégantes et attachés-case, pour évoquer leur métier. Leur subordonné Pascal Schmidt est plus agité.

« Je n’arriverai pas à trouver les mots » dit-il, dansant d’une jambe sur l’autre, remontant ses lunettes en tentant d’expliquer sans trop en dire ce milieu où « tout est anormal, hors des normes ».

JORDANIE 🇯🇴 (Amman) : des drones et des radars face à l’explosion des trafics de drogue

Les autorités jordaniennes ont annoncé ce lundi 16 mai la mise en place de drones et de radars pour surveiller les trafics de drogue en provenance de Syrie. Les deux pays partagent en effet pas moins de 375 km de frontières.

Une zone difficile à surveiller, où les tentatives de trafics explosent. En particulier le trafic de captagon, dérivé de l’amphétamine, dont les pilules s’écoulent par millions chaque année au Moyen-Orient et dans les États du Golfe.

Le 11 mai 2022, en fin d’après-midi, les douaniers du Perthus ont procédé au contrôle d’un camion espagnol, à la barrière du péage du Boulou, sur l’autoroute A9.

Le chauffeur a déclaré aux douaniers venir de Barcelone et se rendre en Hollande afin d’y livrer des câbles électriques. Le camion a alors été dirigé vers le scanner mobile de la douane qui permet de réaliser des radioscopies du chargement.

FRANCE 🇫🇷 (DOD de la DNRED de la Douane Française) : le procès d’une dérive devenue système reprend ce lundi 16 mai 2022

Pendant des années, des hauts responsables douaniers se sont appuyés sur un de leurs informateurs pour monter des opérations de toutes pièces et réaliser de belles saisies. Un scandale jugé à partir du lundi 9 mai à Paris.

par Emmanuel Fansten avec des ajouts de Marc Fievet

L’intégralité de l’article

A partir du lundi, bien que la DG de la Douane ait publié un communiqué informant que les poursuivis dans cette affaire étaient des agents ou des ex-agents de la Douane, ce sont bien six douaniers de haut rang qui ont commencé à comparaître devant le tribunal correctionnel de Paris pour «escroquerie en bande organisée», «importation de marchandise contrefaite», «détournement de fonds publics», «faux et usage de faux», «destruction de preuves» et «compromission du secret de la défense nationale».

Ces anciens cadres de la prestigieuse Direction nationale du renseignement et des enquêtes douanières (DNRED) sont soupçonnés, à des degrés divers, d’avoir monté des affaires de toutes pièces avec l’aide d’un de leurs principaux informateurs, dans le seul but de réaliser des belles saisies et de se faire briller. «La convergence d’intérêts entre des organisations criminelles et la hiérarchie douanière a conduit à un dévoiement des procédures dans un intérêt purement statistique», souligne la juge d’instruction Aude Buresi dans son ordonnance de renvoi. Une affaire emblématique des aberrations de la politique du chiffre. Car avant de devenir un scandale retentissant, qui a ébranlé un des principaux services de renseignement français, la saisie à l’origine de ce procès a d’abord été saluée comme un franc succès en haut lieu.

«Donneur d’ordre et logisticien»

EXTRAIT

Des équipes de douaniers sont même réquisitionnées pour escorter les cargaisons de Zoran Petrovic jusqu’à leur destination finale. Au cours de ces opérations clandestines, les agents reçoivent l’ordre de couper leurs portables et d’utiliser des téléphones d’emprunt.

«Banalité du phénomène de corruption»

EXTRAIT

En dehors de ses rémunérations officielles, Zoran Petrovic est surtout autorisé à importer ses propres marchandises en quantité astronomique. Pour chaque conteneur saisi, un, deux, voire trois autres passent sans être contrôlés. En contrepartie de l’affaire des 43 tonnes de café contrefait, par exemple, l’aviseur a pu acheminer pour son compte environ 70 tonnes de tabac de contrebande, selon l’ordonnance de renvoi.

Après la mise à l’écart précipitée de «Z», les chiffres de la douane en matière de contrefaçons ont chuté de plus des deux tiers.

«L’aviseur a pris le pouvoir»

EXTRAIT

Les investigations ont d’ailleurs permis d’établir que l’ascension vertigineuse de l’indic avait été favorisée par l’ancien patron de la DOD Paris, Vincent Sauvalère. C’est lui qui a personnellement recruté cette source en 2009. Lui, ensuite, qui a court-circuité les «règles de sécurité» pour maintenir son activité malgré son inscription sur liste noire. Lui, enfin, qui a tout fait pour dissimuler son rôle à l’administration, puis à la justice, en l’enregistrant sous différents alias.

Lorsque le chef de la DOD Paris quitte son poste en 2014 pour rejoindre l’Office européen de lutte antifraude (Olaf), à Bruxelles, son successeur, Erwan Guilmin, va lui aussi tout faire pour maintenir ce système à flot, profitant à son tour des saisies mirobolantes permises par Zoran Petrovic.

Officiellement, Erwan Guilmin n’aurait jamais eu connaissance de son inscription sur liste noire et aurait découvert l’ampleur des dysfonctionnements qu’a posteriori, après les perquisitions. Mais un document saisi par les enquêteurs met à mal cette défense et élargit le dossier à de nouvelles infractions.

Note caviardée

Début 2016, le secrétaire général de la DNRED, Sébastien M., est sommé par la justice de transmettre les éléments sur Zoran Petrovic. Il rédige alors une note classifiée confirmant son inscription sur liste noire. Mais alors que ce document doit être remis en mains propres au sous-directeur juridique, Erwan Guilmin exige qu’on le lui transmette d’abord. Le fonctionnaire s’exécute. Mais quelques mois plus tard, lors de la déclassification de cette note dans le cadre de l’enquête administrative, Sébastien M. s’aperçoit qu’elle a été caviardée : l’inscription sur liste noire a disparu.

«Erwan Guilmin a sciemment altéré un document classifié secret-défense dissimulant ainsi le statut de Zoran Petrovic à sa hiérarchie et, in fine, à la justice», épingle le rapport de l’inspection des douanes. Des faits qui valent à l’ancien cadre d’être également renvoyé pour «compromission du secret de la défense nationale».

Contactés, les avocats d’Erwan Guilmin et de Vincent Sauvalère n’ont pas répondu aux sollicitations d’Emmanuel Fansten de Libération.

De proche en proche, le scandale a fini par contaminer la hiérarchie douanière jusqu’à son sommet.

Jean-Paul Garcia

L’ancien patron de la DNRED lui-même, Jean-Paul Garcia, devra s’expliquer à la barre sur son rôle dans cet étrange système. Et justifier pourquoi, lorsqu’un magistrat l’a interrogé dès 2014 sur Zoran Petrovic dans le cadre d’une autre enquête, il a affirmé que cet aviseur était «favorablement connu de la DNRED».

Selon la juge Aude Buresi, Garcia est resté «sourd aux multiples alertes» et a «manifestement failli dans ses missions», faisant preuve d’une «désinvolture incompréhensible». Il sera jugé pour «détournement de fonds publics par négligence».

Une qualification intenable pour son avocat, Patrick Tabet, qui rappelle que son client «ne gérait pas les aviseurs et n’a jamais été chargé de l’opérationnel».

La réaction de Marc Fievet

Connaissant Jean Paul Garcia depuis plus de 30 ans, je n’imagine pas qu’il est pu s’aventurer dans ce genre de délire que la justice lui reproche. Il était le Boss de la DNRED et n’avait absolument aucun intérêt à participer à ce type de magouilles que seuls ceux qui voulaient ce poste prestigieux ont mis en place pour s’auto-promouvoir. Le seul reproche à faire à Jean Paul Garcia, c’est qu’il faisait confiance à ses directeurs sans contrôler toutes les opérations que ces derniers organisaient.

Dans ce cas, il faudrait juger aussi les ex DG Jérome Fournel, aujourd’hui ‘Directeur général de la Direction générale des Finances publiques’ et Hélène Crocquevielle, aujourd’hui ‘Chef du CGEFI (Contrôle Général Économique et Financier)’ pour perte de fonds publics par négligence et incompétence dans la gestion du renouvellement de la flotte aéronavale de la douane.

Sans attendre l’issue judiciaire du procès, dont les protagonistes sont toujours présumés innocents, le rapport administratif diligenté par la direction de la DNRED a d’ores et déjà conclu à «des dysfonctionnements majeurs dégradant fortement et durablement l’image et le renom de l’administration des douanes».

Le procès doit durer cinq semaines et les audiences se tiennent seulement le lundi, mardi et mercredi.

COLOMBIA 🇨🇴 (The murder of a Paraguayan 🇵🇾 prosecutor) : link between politics and drug trafficking, exposed

The Paraguayan anti-mafia prosecutor Marcelo Pecci was killed Tuesday by armed men who arrived aboard a jet ski at the place where he was honeymooning in the Colombian Caribbean. The crime is revealing the transformation of Paraguay to a cocaine producer and the links between the type of politics and drug trafficking.

RFI consulted with analyst Carlos Aníbal Peris, a political scientist who specializes in drug trafficking at the Catholic University of Asunción, about this crime, which is now under investigation to determine the motive and circumstances of the murder.

-The Pecci prosecutor’s investigation resulted in the mega operation “A Ultranza Py” last month, which led to the resignation of several politicians involved in a criminal structure of international cocaine trafficking. This case sheds light on what you call narcopolitics in Paraguay …
