The cultivation of cannabis by organized criminal groups is an increasing problem in France. This presentation will introduce the methods and results of a relevant study (qualitative and quantitative analysis, benchmarking, good practices, etc.) and will emphasize its practical value (contributions and limitations).

Nacer Lalam, Institut National des Hautes Etudes de la Sécurité et de la Justice (INHESJ-France) and Captain Romain Stiffel, Plateforme d'identification des avoirs criminels (DPCJ-PIAC) (France)

The purpose of the study was to advance the fight against drug trafficking focusing on the possession of assets. Previously, the question to be addressed was what are the gains of engaging in activities related to trafficking and how to assess the income laundered from traffickers since traffickers seem sensitive to the seizure and confiscation of their assets. Therefore, what are the barriers to the implementation of this tool by law enforcement? Can we expect the same services?
