Lhe number of victims continues to climb but the mystery remains intact. To date, more than 800 complaints have been filed in France for stings, 1,098 victims were identified as of June 16, but the analyzes carried out have never reported the presence of GHB, indicated the National Police Directorate ( DGPN) this Friday, confirming information from Figaro. The mystery is therefore complete around this phenomenon which has grown with the multiplication of complaints, until creating the beginning of psychosis.
Across the territory, sting attacks in bars, nightclubs, concerts and festivals have been reported, but no evidence has been brought to light by investigators to explain it. In a census carried out by the Office for the fight against drug trafficking (Ofast) established on June 16, of which Agence France-Presse was aware, it is reported “about 850 reported facts”, knowing that a fact can relate to several bites during the same event (concert, etc.). Half of the facts were counted by the gendarmerie, the other by the police, for a total of “1,098 victims. »
No distinction between men and women
Ofast has been responsible for a few days of centralizing “the number of facts and qualitative elements”, but if investigations were to bring to light organized trafficking, the office would seize the Jirs (specialized interregional court ) concerned, we added to the DGPN. The analyzes are entrusted to the technical and scientific police.
