France to Isolate 100 Top Drug Traffickers in High-Security Prison by Summer to Prevent Criminal Activities
Jan 13, 2025, 02:40 AM
French Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin has announced plans to isolate the '100 most significant drug traffickers' in a high-security prison by this summer. The initiative aims to prevent these inmates from continuing their criminal activities from within prison, where they currently manage their operations using mobile phones. The new facility will be completely isolated and secured, staffed by specially trained and anonymous prison guards. Darmanin, who has prioritized combating drug trafficking since taking office on December 23, stated that this move is part of a broader strategy to tackle what he describes as a major internal security threat. He likened the approach to the measures taken against terrorism, suggesting a need for a comprehensive overhaul in the fight against drug trafficking.
