A large-scale security operation in France has led to the arrest of 78 individuals suspected of involvement in trafficking networks. These networks were allegedly involved in trafficking migrants, drugs, and arms, with destinations including Algeria and other parts of Europe. The French National Police announced the arrests on August 15th. The operation targeted a network operating out of Marseille, a major port city. Details released suggest the group was actively engaged in illicit activities across borders. Authorities have not yet disclosed the full extent of the network’s operations or the types of weapons seized. Further investigation is underway to dismantle the organisation and understand its complete structure.
