“White Tsunami” and “Airbnbeuh”, the OFast denounces the growth of cocaine trafficking

A “France without white zone”, and we are not talking about mobile telephone coverage here but of drug trafficking, now present throughout the national territory, notes the 2025 edition of the OFAST report (anti-stupering office) on “the state of the threat linked to drug trafficking” that could consult The world.

Its authors report there a “white tsunami” of cocaine which floods France and its 3.7 million “experimenters” (which have touched the product at least once in their lives) including 1.1 million users (at least one consumption in the year), according to data from the French Drug Observatory and Toxicomania (OFDT).

An increase in seizures following that of production – "white tsunami" "airbnbeuh", ofast denounces

A development of the “customers” carried by the drop in the price of the gram. Therefore, spent from 70 euros to 58 euros in the last five years despite continuous increase in seizures, with a “white tsunami” “airbnbeuh”, ofast denounces new record of 58 tonnes recorded last year (vs 23 T in 2023).

An evolution which follows that of the producing countries while the report put forward the volume of 2. Consequently, 700 tonnes of cocaine produced by Colombia alone in 2023, an increase of 50 % compared to 2022. However, A production which also develops in neighboring Mexico countries, Venezuela, Guatemala, Honduras and Salvador, hitherto little known as supplier countries.

So many import channels that redouble ingenuity. innovation to bring cam to Europe, of which France is one of the main entrance doors.

240. 000 stup workers’

The report also estimates that more than 240,000 people would work directly or indirectly in drug trafficking in France, which generates an annual turnover estimated by the OFAST at 7 billion euros. Of these 240. 000 people, “less than ten organizations master almost all cocaine imports” and collaborate with some 5,000 semi-large, providing the countless little “white tsunami” “airbnbeuh”, ofast denounces hands.

This workforce thus operates throughout the territory. goes hand in hand with an increase in violence: 367 assassinations or attempted assassination between traffickers, spread over 173 cities were identified in 2024.

The report also notes that marijuana imports are diversifying as certain countries legalize its consumption. Thus, it has become relatively frequent to grab grass from Thailand or Canada.

Digitalization. “Airbnbeuh”

If the pounding and police pressure strategy on physical sales points is a definite success, with the “deletion” of almost 1,400 deal points between 2020 (4,034) and 2025 (2,729), the traffickers did not drag to innovate.

The report thus notes “the use of digital tools” by traffickers to “retain their customers” and “recruit their workforce”.

And if deliveries “at home” have developed widely. investigators observe new techniques “white tsunami” “airbnbeuh”, ofast denounces such as short -term rental of apartments such as ephemeral deal points, renamed “Airbnbeuh” or the use of a key box by which the transaction takes place.

Finally. the rapporteurs are alarmed by the development of narcotrafiating teams, who no longer hesitate to communicate openly with the authorities or the inhabitants, as did the DZ Mafia in Marseille, in a FLNC video broadcast to deny and condemn the assassin-bound of a VTC driver or a team of Bagnols-sur-Cèze, proposing to pay school supplies and carry out DIY in compensation for nuisances generated by installing a deal point.
