France's Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin is intensifying efforts against drug trafficking by planning to imprison 200 of the most dangerous traffickers in renovated high-security prisons. This initiative aims to sever the traffickers’ connections to criminal networks while they serve their sentences. The prisoners will be relocated to specific facilities by mid-October, with a focus on isolating them from society. The move comes after Darmanin's consultations with European counterparts, reflecting a broader strategy to tackle organized crime effectively. Drug-related violence in France highlighted the urgent need for this crackdown.
"We will leave the most dangerous people in place. All the people we will describe as dangerous to the outside world. Dangerous people, mainly drug traffickers, but also Islamist terrorists."
"That makes 200 drug traffickers, who by October 15, will be completely isolated from the rest of society."
