A former police commander, Jean-Pierre Colombiès worked at 36 Quai des Orfèvres and in the narcotics squad, first in Paris and then at the Marseille Regional Judicial Police Service (SRPJ). He recounts his more than 30-year career in "The Dark Side of the Police" (Max Milo). 📚 To order the book "The Dark Side of the Police" 👉 https://urls.fr/M6pH99 Jean-Pierre Colombiès notably participated in "Operation Margarita," which pitted him against the Colombian Cali Cartel. This large-scale international operation saw the former Marseille SRPJ officer and his colleagues track down one of the South American cartel's logistics operatives, whose mission was to transport and distribute cocaine shipments from Colombia throughout France. “The guy was cruising around Marseille and the entire southern region with his little briefcase full of cash. He was buying boats in Saint-Raphaël and Antibes, sailboats that could hold several hundred kilos of cocaine, which were then shipped off the coast of South America and brought back to the La Rochelle area.” Ten years investigating drug cases that left their mark on Jean-Pierre Colombiès: “The drug world is rotten to the core. No matter how righteous a cop thinks he is when he splashes around in this swamp, the rot he stirs up affects him, contaminates him, changes him, in one way or another, more or less strongly, but in any case, it infests him.” “I think my protective instinct or a survival reflex pulled me out of the drug quagmire while there was still time.” “I didn’t want to end up in prison and lose everything—my freedom, my job, my family,” he adds. Through several anecdotes, Jean-Pierre Colombiès recounts how this immersion in the world of “drug addicts, dealers, prostitutes, pimps, thugs of every stripe, guys who are without morals or scruples, who are ready to go to any lengths,” sometimes led him to mess up, or even “to completely screw up.” “You, a cop, think you’re at the station, and you find yourself in the middle of a jungle. So you adjust your own behavior to the context. Slaps come quickly. Violence becomes normal,” explains the former member of the 36th Precinct. “As strange as it may seem, if we were bastards, we were honest bastards. The real bastard acts wrongly for profit or pleasure. We, on the other hand, only broke the law to fulfill a mission that society had entrusted to us.” In short, we were getting our hands dirty to carry out an order.” Among the abuses he witnessed during his career was also “the influence of Freemasonry within the police and the judiciary.” A subject he knows well, since Jean-Pierre Colombiès himself was a member of a lodge: “I joined, I was a Freemason for a while, and then I quickly realized… I had no desire to be caught in the trap of a network.” These favors exchanged between members can have serious consequences, as illustrated by the case of the Freemason surgeon who agreed to perform a sham operation to allow a brother accused of rape to evade justice. “In the course of my duties, I saw exorbitant, disgusting, and monstrous privileges.” "Were assassins able to evade justice because their fathers held high positions in some institution and perhaps even in some lodge? It's possible I've encountered some. And it's certain that, if such opportunities arose, I couldn't do anything to prevent the police, the justice system, or the law from prevailing over backroom deals," concludes Jean-Pierre Colombiès. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ LINKS ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 🎙️ Journalist: Henri-Michel Thalamy 👉 / hm_thalamy 📩 [email protected] #EpochTimesFrance #Epoch #JeanPierreColombies #Police #Justice #Politics #Lyhanna #DrugTrafficking #narcos #cartels #freemasonry #security #insecurity #immigration #drugs #drugtrafficking #DZMafia 00:00 Intro 01:48 A good cop must also be a good dealer 06:32 A world "rotten to the core" 11:53 Operation Margarita and the Cali Cartel 19:44 Colombian Hitmen in Lyon 21:15 Why We Lost the War on Drugs 30:26 Links Between Drugs and Politics? 35:43 Methods Borrowed from South American Cartels 37:08 What is Emmanuel Macron's Legal Record? 39:58 A Police Force in the Pay of the Government? 42:40 More and More French People Are Taking the Law into Their Own Hands 43:54 After-School Program Scandal and the Lyhanna Case 50:31 Unbridled Violence? 54:18 Immigration and Insecurity 58:08 The Coming Civil War 01:04:37 Police and Freemasonry 01:13:14 Obsession with Numbers, Manipulation, and Corruption 01:15:30 Is the Police Racist? 01:17:17 What exactly are police abuses? 01:19:40 An autopsy gone wrong 01:23:22 Conclusion
