Faites entrer l'accusé - La French Connection

For everyone, the "French Connection" is the title of an American detective film. Every day, dozens of Americans die of overdose, because of very pure heroin, “made in France”, straight from Marseille. For the Marseille underworld, it is lucrative and practically unpunished trafficking. American police officers have had traffic between France and New York in their sights for years when, in 1962, a French television host was arrested in New York. 00:00 - Introduction - The French Connection 01:02 - Heroin in the 70s comes from France 02:33 - The Angelvin affair 08:34 - Angelvin, the Fuca brothers, François Scaglia and Jean Jehan in GAV 11:05 – 39 kilos of pure heroin seized by police 15:04 - The French connection targeted by French and American justice 16:29 - Interview François Le Mouël, Head of the narcotics brigade in 1971 18:30 – The French authorities want the skin of Marseille traffickers 20:55 – The affair of the Caprice of Times 21:52 - Interview Jean Carré, Deputy Director of Customs from 1968 to 1973 27:06 – The spinning of Caprice des temps by the customs star 30:18 - 425 kilos of pure heroin seized in the Caprice of Times 36:39 - The trial of the captain of the Caprice des temps 39:42 - Interview Henri Malvezzi, former chemist 43:20 – The making of heroin 45:43 - Joseph André Cesari manufactures pure heroin in Marseille 47:51 – The hunt for Cesari 48:56 – Cesari’s hideout, Villa Suzanne 51:16 – Arrest of Cesari 52:24 – Cesari exposed to the police 54:36 – Suicide of Cesari in prison 57:48 – Richard Berdin throws out his accomplices 59:09 – Trial of Jean-Baptiste Croce 1:08:04 - Conclusion - The French Connection
