Five officers are implicated after €10m of cocaine went unaccounted for during a sting on ‘Mimo’, one Europe’s biggest narco-traffickers
When the container ship OPS Hamburg docked in Marseilles on a morning in April 2023, officers from France’s elite anti-drug force were lying in wait. They were sure their cunning sting would net one of Europe’s biggest narco-traffickers.
The US Drug Enforcement Administration had told them that buried in a container of bananas arriving from Cartagena, Colombia, there was a massive shipment of cocaine. It had been ordered by Mohamed Djeha, alias Mimo, the feared boss of Marseilles’ Castellane clan.
