Shortly after midnight on the night of 19 to 20 October 2026, customs officers
at the Reventin-Vaugris toll on motorway A7 in Isère checked a southbound
vehicle and found Moroccan resin packed in suitcases; the load weighed 837 kg.[1] On instructions from the Vienne prosecutor the 23-year-old driver was
handed to the Lyon branch of the Ofast anti-narcotics office.[1]
On Friday 23 October 2026 the Vienne criminal court sentenced Amra Cerbah, 23,
from Neuilly-sur-Marne, to ten years in prison.[2][3] He told the court he had
agreed under family pressure to run ten go-fast trips from Spain to repay debts
left when his brother Mohand-Achour Cerbah was stopped near Clermont-Ferrand on
9 April 2026 with more than a tonne of cannabis and later received five years.[2][3] Customs valued the resin in his car at about €2.52 million; sentencing
reports describe 839 kg.[2][3]
The October articles do not record further co-defendants or fines beyond the
prison term.[2][3]

Open questions the AI reported
- The seizure reports weigh 837 kg at the toll while the sentencing coverage rounds the load to 839 kg and €2.52 million; the opened articles do not explain the two-kilogram difference.
- Whether a scout car preceded the convoy and whether the resin was for Lyon or in transit was still under Ofast phone analysis when the 21 October report was published.
- Le Dauphiné and Le Progrès use archive customs photos, not pictures from this stop, so no media is listed.
