The research section of the gendarmerie of Pau and the autonomous territorial brigade of Saint-Orens carried out an action on Monday to arrest a couple living in Saint-Orens-de-Gameville. These Serbs are suspected of being at the head of a major drug trade.
A Serb living in Saint-Orens, south-east of Toulouse, is suspected of being at the head of a major drug trade. This 29-year-old man and his wife of the same age were arrested on Monday by the research section of Pau, the autonomous territorial brigade of Saint-Orens and the PSIG of Escalquens.
It all started with a seizure of 1.2 kilos of cocaine that took place in January 2019, between the Pyrénées-Atlantique and Spain. At the time of the research section (SR) of the gendarmerie Pau questioned a man. Following this operation, the prosecutor opens a judicial investigation and the SR continues the inquiries on rogatory commission.
Several arrests
For two years, the military will increase the number of eavesdropping and spinning to decipher the whole of this network. The profile of a thirty-something, originally from Béarn but recently installed in Haute-Garonne has marked the attention of the police. From the Pink City where he rented an Airbnb, this suspect already placed under judicial supervision for another case, would have continued to discreetly manage his traffic. And the investigations will make it possible to identify several passages of cars loaded with drugs between Spain and France.
This Monday, the military followed one of these convoys. Cars drove from Malaga to Toulouse. And 3 people, including the driver and passengers were arrested on the way to the Sames tollbooth, on the A64, in possession of 50 kg of herbal cannabis. At the same time, the Villefranche-de-Lauragais gendarmes carried out the operation in Saint-Orens-de-Gameville. The “boss” and his wife, defended by Me Alexandre Parra-Bruguière must be presented this Friday at the Pau prosecutor’s office in three conveyors. Asked, the Pau prosecutor’s office did not wish to speak on a case under investigation.
