Passionnant ! D'après L'Infiltré d'Hubert Avoine et Emmanuel Fansten, une enquête réelle sur le trafic de stupéfiants en France, mais aussi son extension au plan international. La participation active des états est mise en évidence : On retrouvera facilement les fonctionnaires de haut niveau concernés dans les "affaires" en France. Haut niveau, certes, mais qui ne sont pourtant que les fusibles cachant la réalité des politiques des gouvernements : l'entièreté des trafics est gérée comme une part non négligeable de l'économie et négociée entre gouvernements sur le plan international...
Synopsis
October 2015. French customs seize seven tonnes of cannabis in the heart of the capital. The same day, Hubert Antoine, a former mole with a shady past, contacts Stéphane Vilner, a journalist at Libération. He claims to be able to demonstrate the existence of State drug trafficking led by Jacques Billard, prominent media figure and high-ranking French police officer. Suspicious at first, the young journalist finally dives into an investigation that will lead him to the darkest corners of the Republic.
