Africa-Press – Mauritius. Given the damage to the mental and physical health of lovers of illicit substances in society, each drug seizure raises hope as to the seriousness accorded by the authorities responsible for combating this scourge.
Years of laxity have allowed sponsors, traffickers and small dealers to sleep peacefully while customers doze in an artificial paradise to the chagrin of parents, relatives and neighborhood residents.
A real zero tolerance policy has been deployed for several years through increased vigilance at the borders, which has made it possible to welcome smugglers freshly disembarked at the airport and also those who thought they were sailing on the waves off the coast without being worried.
New arrest? Good news ! Investigation, interrogation, the ADSU, the CID, dismantling of a new network, umpteenth commission, honest judge, the court, magistrate, and finally, a long stay behind bars at the expense of taxpayers for the guilty: this is what expects the public from the competent authorities.
A procedure that should normally strengthen the confidence of the public in relation to the whole chain of defenders of the law. But is this really the case? What’s wrong?
What interests the general public is the outcome of all the trials of individuals caught in the net of the ADSU, and whose media coverage should not be just an announcement effect. Is there a lack of communication through the press? Or, quite simply, are certain files classified without follow-up?
Since the names of the godfathers, those who finance and organize a whole chain of smuggling, are rarely revealed, the good people have the right to wonder about what is wrong with the zero tolerance strategy hammered out with firmness against guilty.
In recent years, the noose has actually tightened around some who took it easy, and began to find a professional activity to earn an honest living like the majority of their fellow citizens.
Others were quick to play the smartest thing to find flaws in the tracking system and avoid getting caught. . . In view of the number of arrests of smugglers and traffickers whose names are displayed in the press, what would hinder the ascent to the source of all the trafficking?
The new wave Like any other lucrative sector, the one that sends consumers into the arms of Morpheus has a capacity for innovation and restructuring that has nothing to envy to others.
We were used to cargoes hidden under other goods in the maritime trade, to small packages in the lining of suitcases at the airport, others that come out anally from passengers, and even more clever, when the vaginal route s offer as an almost sure transit of enjoyment…
You can not stop progress. The female sex readily lends itself to the game of hide-and-seek driven by the male. The #Metoo version of women’s liberation has a bright future ahead of it.
As long as she launches into a victim speech, we will have seen it all! Perfect cover-up, normal employee with no history agreeing to house suspicious packages under her roof.
“No wave like that,” believed the boyfriend.
And even better, the virginal innocence (?) of a fifteen-year-old teenager, whose candor is not surprising, who bends to the will of her prince of the heart by offering herself as an immaculate cover.
The honor of the female sex (one cannot say ‘female’ at the risk of attracting the wrath of the holders of well-meaning among the liberated Amazons and the male allies among the clerks) is saved by the intervention without concession of a grandmother who dropped the piece illico presto at the neighborhood tax collectors.
Another novelty: by dint of watching American films, young suspects are now demanding the right to silence in the absence of their lawyer. Good game. Gone are the days of tough police interrogations if this continues, and then, social networks are there, ready to ignite at the slightest blunder.
Strong is the temptation to surf cheerfully on a wave where you let yourself slide without hindrance, where there is no question of stopping in such a good way.
So think! You can live without much effort except that of recovering the package of happiness, and spending without scruples. The easy money, the quick buck, and the easy life… New car, rave party, and – to hell with it! those stoned teenagers on the side of the roads.
With the reopening of tourism, some are begging in broad daylight from tourists in the streets of Grand Bay. A new phenomenon, motorists are solicited by young people in a state of craving at traffic lights.
The police intervene, it seems; there is no question of tarnishing the image of paradise reopened to visitors from rich countries. So much the better ! The weakest link
What happens when the locals know about a well-oiled drug trade that hasn’t suffered any wear or rust for 25 years, that is, a quarter of a century in the district of a city or in a village? Especially yours. How do we arrive at a situation that reinforces the impunity of the merchants of death?
According to suspicions and statements, the entire chain of sponsors, smugglers, police forces, certain lawyers (even men of faith preaching the good word in prisons), could be plagued by the strong temptation of money easy.
Sometimes it is the work of law enforcement that is hampered by orders from above to spare the culprits. In other cases, some are complicit in the crime by accepting a few hundred thousand rupees from the sponsors of the networks.
This great disorder is amplified by the entry into the dance of certain lawyers, as the last report on drug trafficking underlined, in this criminal scourge so devastating. The island, being a big village, everyone tells what they know to anyone who wants to listen.
What we call concrete examples, especially in your neighborhood where some have indulged in this lucrative trade without being worried under the guise of flourishing trade displayed by the number of hardware stores, clothing stores, bakeries, snacks, etc.
Train suspect lifestyle, millionaire sports car for the 20-year-old son, several purchases of land and houses, business openings here and there, to name but a few examples.
The weakness of these lucky guys is that proud of their untouchability, financial power, the lucrative contracts granted by their protector, they brag about it to others.
It’s hard to keep quiet when luck has been smiling at you for ages. Solution Should everything be left in the hands of the authorities concerned? Obviously not. It is about the wasted lives of thousands of young people, an illicit shadow economy, the murder of fathers and mothers and other settling of scores.
When cases come to nothing and a certain opacity and silence from the media nourish a feeling of powerlessness in the population, the inhabitants would benefit from mobilizing in a ‘Drug Watch’ in each region to collect data and records of each case, and hold governments to account.
This is so that the entire chain of suppliers to resellers and other accomplices is required to explain the failure of certain cases, and that any corruption is revealed to the general public.
The denunciation being a bad business, it would be necessary to consider another mode of cooperation of the public with the authorities for a better effectiveness in the fight against the architects of the virtual paradise.
