Open questions the AI reported
The article gives no weight, value or split between the cocaine and the cannabis in the sachets, so no cannabis kilogram figure is recorded.
It is unclear whether all the sachets were found during the 29 September operation at Péricarpin and Cipolin or whether some were found during the 28 September Mortenol operation.
No charge, custody decision or court outcome was reported for the two people arrested.
The number of sachets is given only as about fifty, not as an exact count.
Both the France-Antilles article and the ETV report reproduce the National Police account; no independent reporting of the operations was found.
