Cocaine? Ask a policeman

A haul of 52kg of cocaine captured by the Paris police last month has disappeared from the strong room at the headquarters in Quai des Orfevres. Video surveillance shows a man entering the room with two bags in the middle of the night. He has been identified as a member of the anti-drugs squad and detained for questioning.
Earlier this year two detectives from the same building were accused of raping a Canadian tourist.
The Minister of the Interior has promised to take "all necessary steps". When watching the superb French "policier" series called "Spiral" in English (Engrenages in French) you think the police and justice system could not possibly be like that - but perhaps it can.
