According to French media reports, at the end of last year, with the arrival of the second wave of the epidemic, France began emergency lockdown measures. But lockdowns and street bans have brought a serious "side effect", that is, many people are mentally empty and bored, and the drug trade has taken advantage of the rise. Drug and alcohol abuse caused a sharp increase in social cases in a short period of time, and more than half of the 4,700 violent cases received by the Paris Police Department in a month were caused by these two reasons, so the authorities began to prepare for a strong anti-drug campaign.
Interestingly, though, drugs are somewhere between "legal" and "illegal" in France. Its laws explicitly prohibit drug use and drug trafficking, but the police generally turn a blind eye to drug use as long as they do not have any serious consequences. French culture is "inclusive," with many addicts protesting the government's control of drug use, believing that it is their own freedom as long as it does not affect others. Under their enlistment, France even opened several "legal drug use centers" to get into drug use for money.
Three days ago, the French police announced a very bizarre news report that a factory was making drugs and that the amount of drugs was very large. On the same day, the police organized personnel to raid the factory and seized many "battle results". According to statistics, drugs worth 1 million euros were confiscated before and after, and the police also said that these drugs were used for underground parties. Photos posted on Twitter showed most of them were pink powders and plenty of small pills in a bowl.
However, yesterday the police said that there was a problem in the drug testing link, and all these "drugs" were tested out to be strawberry candy, and the powder was crushed by the machine. At this point, many people wonder: Why was it declared to be a drug at the time of seizure, and how did the determination procedure come about? Moreover, according to the drug environment in France, there must be a lot of cat grease hidden in the middle of the case, and there is even a suspicion of "eating black in white".
There are only two points of doubt from the outside world, the first is that drugs have been artificially manipulated. Because hiding ecstasy in France is not a felony at all, it will only be punishable by fines, and the cheap cost of crime and huge profits may make informants or the police themselves "internal ghosts" to turn these million-euro drugs into sugar pills. If the police do not restart the investigation, it is difficult to detect.
The second is that if the crime scene is a sugar pill, it should be detected quickly, and it will not be exposed until the time of the drug expert's test. In order to obtain evidence, generally destroy drug dens with experienced people, but also take pictures and drug comparison experiments at the scene, as evidence preservation; so this kind of at the last moment to find that it is powdered sugar is difficult to stand, and the possibility of "accidents" in the middle is very large.
It is worth mentioning that the French cities of Paris, Lyon, Marseille and other cities have become "drug cities", and drug crimes in France are still one of the light sentences. Previously, a member of the Marseille parliament suggested a quick elimination of drugs, but soon because of the entanglement of forces behind him, he even lost his official position. In France, the relationship between the police, government officials and drugs is indeed difficult to describe, and the incident of millions of euros of drugs turning into powdered sugar may eventually be resolved.
