Traffickers try everything to escape controls but taking the A9 motorway while driving on a rim is reckless. Luckily any drama was avoided.
Strange behavior from this driver who leaves the motorway at Boulou, goes around the roundabout and returns to the A9 to resume the initial direction.
This January 14th, nothing else is needed to arouse the curiosity of the PAF agents installed in this place. The driver obeys the command and stops, but only to drive off again. A police officer has time to throw the shutter under the vehicle. With its left rear tire flat, the Mercedes speeds down the highway, with the PAF in hot pursuit. The fugitive would like to exit at Perpignan Sud, but a police vehicle prevents him from accessing the ramp. A BAC patrol then joined the chase. The powerful German travels at almost 180 km/h on its rim. In Leucate it exits the A9 towards the toll booth but ends up in the ditch a little further on in the Grotte area. The young driver was carrying 8.8 kg of hashish.
Taken to court, he claims to have loaded the cannabis in Jonquere, in reality according to his phone it was rather in Figueras. The Mercedes was rented and sublet, then loaned to him by “Totò”. We won’t know more. By way of explanation, the defendant settles for “I did something stupid, I regret it, eh!” »Especially because he has already been convicted twice in two years for fleeing from the police.
The Prosecutor’s Office, faced with such frankness, asks for 18 months for the transportation of the drugs and another 8 months for the refusal to comply.
“26 months against someone who is in correctional custody for the first time,” protests Bissières. He weighs only 8 kg and nothing else emerged from the search, a flexible sentence is enough.”
The court agrees: 6 months modifiable and 6 months suspended for refusal.
