“Mounir, the TV dealer.” This is how a 34-year-old repeat trafficker, known as the “Spearheading a network of cocaine dealers who supplied all of Paris.” As revealed The Parisian Tuesday June 16, 2020, "He was sentenced on Friday June 12 in Paris to only one year in prison and will not return to prison." Originally from Le Havre, the young man occupied an apartment in the Capital, dedicated "The storage of the drug, which was supplied to him by his wholesaler Hamid." In total, Mounir had around thirty customers who he delivered to his home, by car. Investigators who tapped the dealer were able to trace back to the customers. In his address book, we could thus find “Names of successful TV hosts calling him and sending him messages.” Our colleagues tell: “The white powder seller is clearly the friend of television stars. He sends them entire pages of text messages which have been conscientiously collected by the investigators of the judicial police. ‘Wait thirty seconds, I'm coming out of a show’, answers a C8 TV host to the dealer who announces his delivery. ‘When you want, before 8 p.m., my cat. And promise I am here! It's at 15 rue T … And call when you're downstairs, I'll get you up … kisses … ’, she adds in another message. The stars of the small screen iron the number of Mounir which is so useful. ”
The darling of the stars become plagued
After the end of his two months in pretrial detention, Mounir tried to get back in touch with his clients… "But the news of his arrest has already toured Paris and he sees his relations in the jet set fleeing him like a plague victim", report the daily. During the court proceedings, the young dealer came by “A full confession while minimizing his involvement.” His lawyer, Tarek Koraitem, said that the latter was "short of money" and "There was no other choice but to deal in paying for his own cannabis use." Tarek Koraitem accuses the investigators of having interviewed only anonymous consumers. “But when these drug addicts could have a link with show business or television, they were not approached by the investigators”, he wondered. Nine defendants are appearing before the courts in this case for having imported 45 kg of cocaine between October 2015 and March 2016 in Paris, Clichy and at Roissy airport. Always according to The Parisian, “Two men were released, and the two ringleaders, Hamid, 33, and Faride, 63, were sentenced to six years and four years in prison, respectively.” Eight defendants remain free. Only Hamid, Mounir's wholesaler, remains in prison.
