France’s judicial police plans to set up a dedicated unit of seven investigators by early 2025 to tackle ‘narcorruption’, the intersection of drug trafficking and corruption. Alexis Durand, interim head of the Central Office for the Fight Against Financial and Tax Crime (OCLCIFF), emphasized that corruption is now a primary weapon of organized crime, making it imperative for authorities to adapt to evolving tactics. The new unit aims to enhance detection of such crimes and leverage advanced investigative techniques.
