Marseille Port New Drug Hub; 'Phrygiens' Probe Targets Left-Wing Influence

Concerns are mounting as the port of Marseille is increasingly becoming a strategic destination for international drug trafficking, signaling a significant shift in criminal networks' operations within the country. This development highlights new challenges for law enforcement in a region already grappling with a substantial drug economy.

In the political sphere, an investigation has uncovered a secret group of high-ranking civil servants, dubbed 'Phrygiens,' accused of clandestinely working to support Jean-Luc Mélenchon's ambitions and potentially jeopardizing their careers.
