Scheduled for an immediate-appearance hearing this Thursday, the trial of six members of the same family suspected of running an ice trafficking network in Faa’a has been postponed to January 14, 2027. Until then, the three women and three men are held in custody, the interim prosecutor Stéphanie Pradelle clarified on Friday.
A new drug trafficking network has been dismantled this Monday in the Socredo and Tavararo neighborhoods of Faa’a. It involves three women and three men from the same family, who were to be judged in an immediate-appearance session this Thursday afternoon. But ultimately, their case has been postponed to January 14, 2027. While awaiting their trial, they have been placed in custody, according to the interim public prosecutor, Stéphanie Pradelle.
Nearly 2.2 million francs and 140 grams of ice, as well as equipment used for packaging, weighing, and consuming drugs, were seized following a months-long investigation. Several consumers were also questioned to determine the scope of this trafficking, conducted in places known for illicit activities.
