20 kg of cannabis seized from a fleeing yole off Martinique; no arrests

Open questions the AI reported

• Neither the yole nor its occupants were intercepted, so no one was arrested, charged or named in the reporting.
• No area was given for where in the Saint Lucia Channel the interception took place, so the coordinates mark the channel rather than a precise point.
• The 20 kg figure is the total weight of five packages tested positive for cannabis; no separate lab weight or value was published.
• The reporting does not say what happened in any later investigation by the OFAST after the drugs were handed over.
• The France-Antilles account is cut off after its opening lines, so details beyond the first paragraph come from the ZayActu and Faxinfo reports.
• The photograph captioned “Saisie de cannabis” on ZayActu carries no credit in the page markup, so its source is unclear.
• The military statement's yearly totals for 2022 (about 700 kg of cocaine and one tonne of cannabis seized at sea) cover other operations and are excluded from this event's figures.
• No separate date was given for when in the 3 June interception the five packages were recovered beyond the 4:22 a.m. detection, and no weight per package was published.
• Left out, as its quotation was not found in Ministère des Armées et des Anciens combattants: The French navy's own statement of 10 June 2022 gives the same sequence as the local reports: the 4:22 a.m. detection, the five packages thrown overboard, the 20 kg total and the flight towards Sainte-Lucie.
