Ouicem Kattoursi, considered one of France’s most prominent drug traffickers, has been apprehended in Dubai. Kattoursi had been sought by French authorities for several years and had reportedly established residence in Dubai, a common location for leaders of criminal networks. The arrest was made last week by Emirati authorities, bringing an end to his extended period evading capture. He was the most wanted narcotics criminal in France. Details regarding his extradition to France are currently unavailable. This arrest represents a significant success for French law enforcement in their efforts to dismantle major drug trafficking operations.
