Two men aged 20 and 25 appeared before the tribunal in Carpentras on Monday 2
November 2026.[1] The court sentenced the dealer to 24 months in prison and
his client to eight months.[1] Carpentras police had caught them in the act at
the end of last summer while watching a suspected dealing point in Carpentras,
described as the capital of the Comtat.[1] Officers saw a transaction between
the two men unfold before their eyes.[1] Lounes Sefrani, 20, was then checked
in possession of two 100-gram bars of cannabis he had just bought.[1]
A search that followed the street check recovered 13,470 euros in cash and
nearly two kilos of cannabis.[1] The court treated one defendant as the
trafficker and the other as the buyer.[1]
Carpentras police services carried out the surveillance of the suspected dealing
point.[1] One of the two men had drawn his income from drug trafficking for a
year.[1]

Open questions the AI reported
- Only the free portion of the page could be read; the paywalled remainder, including where the follow-up search took place, was cut off.
- No second report of the same Carpentras case was found, so this account relies on a single outlet.
- Nearly two kilos is approximate, and whether it includes the two 100-gram bars is unclear.
- Linking the 24-month term to the 25-year-old and the eight-month term to 20-year-old Lounes Sefrani relies on the trafficker and client labels in the opened portion.
- The street arrest occurred at the end of last summer without a precise day; 2 November 2026 is used as the hearing and sentence date.
- The page carries a credited photo, but its caption and the visible courthouse building do not establish that it shows the seizure, raid or cannabis, so no media entry is added.
