Mulhouse, six o'clock in the morning. border police
is on the go. These individuals may be armed. They will do anything to escape to arrests if we do not freeze
the situation quickly. A high-risk intervention
for this dozen police officers. Police, don't move! In this apartment, a gang
of Kosovars linked to organized crime, robberies, burglaries. These men are suspected
multiple crimes. The five individuals
are under control, but now, you have to find evidence. Soon, investigators
fall on a strange paraphernalia. Whose is that? A crowbar, gloves
and a professional grinder. Yes, it's burglary equipment. This is used to cut
armored doors. What interests the police the most,
this is the other facet of their activity, international traffic in false papers. The culmination
more than a year of investigation. Twenty thousand conversations listened to. Hours of hiding. - One of the two people,
we already know her from a previous
case of narcotics and help to immigration
in the Albanian environment. - Long-term spinning
to try to put the puzzle together. - There, I thought I saw him
in the distance turning right. You are behind me
behind the truck? Yes that's it. - In this place,
it's not easy to get a confession. I don't know what he did
and what does he do. I swear,
I don't know. He has the right to do
assert their right to silence. A challenge for the police,
break the code of silence to put an end to this unprecedented network
which mixes illegal immigration and organized crime. According to the Interior Ministry,
there would be in France between 200,000
and 400,000 foreigners in an irregular situation. They come from China,
from Africa or from Eastern countries. To arrive on French soil, most of them
used smugglers working in sectors
of illegal immigration. Networks linked to organized crime
authorities are looking for eradicate at all costs. In 2013, more than 200 were dismantled
on the territory. Only a few kilometers
from Germany and Switzerland, the city of Mulhouse,
in Alsace, is particularly affected by the phenomenon
because it occupies an ideal position for candidates for exile,
and especially those from from Eastern Europe. In Mulhouse, business
migrant smuggling are processed
by a very specific service, the Mobile Squad
border police search. The BMR, its HQ,
is behind its windows, at the last floor
of the sub-prefecture. At the head of this service,
Frank, 47 years old, police commander
stationed here for five years. -How are you ?
-How are you. And you? In shape ?
Hi ! How are you ? You have time
see you five minutes there? For many months,
Frank and his team are on the trail
of an immigration network from Kosovo, one of the countries
the poorest in the Balkans. Illegals who would arrive
on French territory through Germany. Alright, let's take a look at it a bit.
see what has been brought to us more at the level
of the immigration stream. A complex case
which started following an alert given by the prefecture. We are confronted
to an upsurge relatively atypical
in asylum applications lodged by Albanian speakers
Kosovo and Albania, in the Haut-Rhin. A total of 500 Kosovars
have applied for asylum, three times more than last year. A surprising increase
which pushes the investigators to look at it
a little closer. An item goes right away
hold their attention. Here we have an area
which is Kosovo. Most of the illegals
who are all from from the southern zone Prizren, Pristina,
Bujanovac and especially Gjilan. We can smell
that there is a network behind the scenes. - Asylum seekers
are all from the same region. For investigators,
this is a disturbing first sign. Frank begins to investigate and his informants
will give him an answer. He's a Kosovar
currently in France which would pass
the border to illegal immigrants. - We learned something
very interesting, he is a Kosovar national, designated as
a leading organizer would currently be
on Mulhouse and would have taken charge precisely a section of channels between Hungary and France. - Here is the leader who would give himself up
illegal smuggling of people. We will call him, Anton. For the French police, It's a man
on which there are suspicions. But what Frank ignores,
is that in his country, he is not
quite a stranger. - We had a pleasant surprise
for us investigators, is that this individual was wanted
under an arrest warrant issued by the authority
judiciary of Kosovo. - Here is the document
which proves what we are saying. According to Kosovo authorities, Anton
would be on the run and prosecuted in his country for organizing a network
of human trafficking. Problem, Anton's network
would already be well established in France According to Frank's clues. - Informations
gathered from its sources also tells us
smugglers who act on behalf
of these organizers. - Thanks to the commander's informants, the police men
were able to obtain the name of a smuggler as well as the license plate
of his vehicle. Precious items. - Regarding the license plate, we checked with
the Customs Police Cooperation Center, we have the identity of the person. It is located in Germany,
based in Germany. The vehicle matches
to a BM Series three. - The investigators are therefore now
on the trail of two suspects. The so-called Anton who would be the brain
of the sector, and a ferryman who would drive a sedan
black German. Two mysterious faces
which won't last long. By doing research,
Eric will realize that Anton applied for asylum
to be able to stay in France. By contacting the prefecture, the policeman finally gets
what he is looking for. -We have his photos now we have a face
on a name, it's really interesting. - Anton the Brain
alleged illegal traffic is a stout man
forty years old. According to this document,
he would be domiciled in Mulhouse. Unfortunately,
Eric will discover that the address indicated is just a simple post office box. Impossible to know where he lives. Then remains the second man. Afterwards, concerning the trafficker
which is in Germany. There, we checked with
of the Customs Police Cooperation Centre. - To try to identify
the alleged smuggler. Eric asked for help
to his German colleagues. Thanks to the names provided by the informant, they will be able to perform
search their database. Results ? - We received a photographic snapshot
of this person, who was obviously known
in Germany for acts of violence. - From now on, the investigators
know the faces of the suspects. Anton, the organizer
presumed from the immigration network based in Mulhouse
and a smuggler based across the Rhine, who would transport
migrants in his vehicle. To ensure that this sector
immigration is very active, investigators
border police will monitor phone numbers
of the two individuals, mobile numbers
given by French informants. From now on, the suspects are put
on call 24 hours a day. In the following days,
the whole team is mobilized to monitor closely
their phone lines. Foreign language conversations
in Albanian, precisely urgently translated
by an interpreter. The right pickaxe, Frank comes across a suspicious exchange,
an eloquent conversation where Anton, the alleged organizer of the network
is directly in line with Kosovo. - Our target here, who in France,
asks if there is something new on a passage, if a named *** succeeded
to have passed to the other side. It refers to illegals. Pass to the other side,
it's crossing the border. It's definitely the border
between northern Serbia and Hungary. While being based
on French territory, our target continues to manage passages
that are happening there. - The sector is therefore very active. Investigators
are now convinced, the suspect would be
at the heart of a network on an international scale. Kosovar illegal immigrants
are currently being sent to Hungary
to enter the European area, then transit through Austria,
then by Germany, before crossing the Rhine
and to arrive in Mulhouse. Better, it's not just Anton,
the alleged brain, which confirms that the sector
clandestine is indeed in activity. The alleged smuggler, who lives in Germany,
he also said the same thing. He announces
his upcoming arrival in Mulhouse, probably to smuggle in
illegal immigrants on French soil. So there is urgency. - The next step
will be to set up a monitoring device
on the Franco-German border in order to try to see it pass
and tail him to try to find
its base in Mulhouse and see where he drops off stowaways. - To organize this surveillance, investigators have
valuable information because on the phone,
the suspect gave the date details of his arrival in the city. That day, investigators decided
to go to the German border to try
to find the suspected smuggler. - Hop, let's go! - The major index of the police, this photo of the plate
registration of his car. The police do not want
stop it immediately, but watch it, because in case of arrest,
the ferryman could be lying. - The goal,
is that he can't tell us, I just dropped off a family,
they were just friends. It was to help them. There it is really materialize the offense
with several family deposits. - After half an hour of driving, the two investigators
arrive at the border between Germany and France, in this parking lot reserved for heavy goods vehicles. A place where surveillance
is difficult because passing motorists
over there drive at more than 100 km/h. - It's quite complex
because the speed now is 110 on this highway
where before, we had a border post which allowed us
to have more facilities and it was limited to 30. Today it rolls,
you have to have good eyes. - That day, Eric and David
watch the road relentlessly, eyes glued
to their binoculars, lingering on black cars
identical to those of the ferryman. It's only late at night
the vehicle appears. Investigators take advantage
to photograph it. The car is spotted
and taken in tail, the smuggler heads for a hotel. Investigators choose
to monitor it remotely and prefer to wait
that he left the establishment. The night has been long
for investigators, but the next morning they had
time to recover the essentials. Images
hotel CCTV. - So we could have
this recording from the lobby where we see the German smuggler
accompanied by the clandestine. - The ferryman is the man
with the white cap screwed on the head. On the left of the screen,
the clandestine and him at his side. Both discuss with the man dressed
in black, the hotel receptionist. For Éric, there is no doubt, it is
property of the suspect that interests them. - We recognize there the German passer
compared to photographic images that we have received from the German authorities. It's the exact same person. It's the same corpulence, the ears,
big protruding ears, beard, mustache. There, we can see that it is him. - From now on, the police
just have to wait let the smuggler talk about him again. It remains to know the extent
trafficking in illegal immigrants in Mulhouse. To evaluate it,
only one solution, listening. For many months,
border police investigators will continue to dig
communications from suspects. A long-term job
which is slow to show results. The network organizer
is discreet and the passer which had been subject
spinning is no longer talked about. Are the police deadlocked? The appearance of a new protagonist
will make it possible to relaunch the whole investigation. One more time,
thanks to his informants, Frank just received
essential information. We spoke to him
of a Kosovar living in Mulhouse, likely to play
a central role in his business. - It is someone who is designated to us
as having been involved in the counterfeit of several hundred
registration certificate in Kosovo. We were told this guy
came to go green in France and he would relate
with the main organizers of our industry
of illegal immigration. - A regular at forgery. The ideal profile of the counterfeiter including Anton,
the suspected migrant smuggler might need in order to achieve
false papers for illegal immigrants. Frank therefore hastens
to consult all these files. - There, we see
that he has a residence permit valid
which mentions an entry into France which goes back several years. He is married
and he resides in the city of Mulhouse. - On the copy of the residence permit
transmitted by the prefecture, the investigator discovers the photo
of the individual and his address. Here is the face of the third man. The forger. We will call him Boriam. From now on, everything will depend on him
and frequency of his relations with Antoine,
the brain of the sector. So the police are going
be particularly attentive to telephone communications
d'Anton, the head of the wiretapped network for many months. Conversations that
you will see it, will make it possible to give
a boost to their investigation. That day, unexpected event
at the BMR in Mulhouse, Eric just learned
A very good news. - We have something new
on the forger of Mulhouse. The translator translated two lines,
two interesting listens. - Listening in which
Boriam the forger phone to Anton
the boss of the clandestine network. Exactly what
investigators hoped. He is in contact with him. He asks to arrange
a permit for someone. We have orders
false documents. He says it's doable
and so he will give a guy's number who will call him back the next day. It confirms the fact that this individual
is still involved in the production of false documents. It's very good for us. It's kind of what we expected
now it will go further. We should have soon
still some interesting stuff. This time, it's sure,
for Frank and his team. Boriam the forger,
has become an essential link in the network. That is sure
thanks to him that the police will reveal
the functioning of the whole sector. So, without further ado,
investigators decide to verify Boriam's address, the only track
now available to the police. It is Éric and his colleague who
are responsible for carrying out this mission. In order not to compromise their identification,
we follow them on hidden camera. - The target's building
is just to the right. We'll go quietly. - A question worries them. Does the man actually live at
mentioned on his residence permit? The police men
will soon find out. - Okay, here we go. - Once in the building, Eric and Renaud
immediately check the mailboxes. The good news ! - There, we can see, there is the name
of our target on the mailbox. We will see if there is not
of mail, so he has to pick it up. Apparently it would be
the right place here. All you have to do is go
upstairs to see if there's a name on a doorbell,
it will save time. This is the right address. The name is on the doorbell,
the mailbox. No question of ringing
or get spotted. Eric decides
therefore hide the eyecup. Now we need
find a way to watch discreetly
his comings and goings. Investigators notice
a real estate ad which falls steeply
on the other side of the street. - Actually, there is an apartment
for rent opposite, just above, opposite
of the target's apartment. We will try to see
if we can't occupy it for monitoring. - Good news ! Accommodation is available
and the rental agency agree to give them the keys. - We'll check the interior,
if it is possible to put a camera. - The police hope to monitor
the activities of the alleged forger and maybe discover
new faces, potential accomplices
involved in this case. First of all, the location is perfect. - That's not bad. There, we are really well placed
because we have a view on the balcony, on the window door and in addition,
we have a view of the entrance to the building. - Boriam's apartment, here it is. He is on the first floor,
just above the entrance to the building, but at this early hour,
the shutters are still closed. - By placing a trigger camera
automatic, it will be really ideal. - A surveillance camera
which records as soon as there is movement, allowing
the police to keep an eye on what is happening 24 hours a day. Investigators plan to return
install it in the afternoon when suddenly,
an unexpected event will surprise them. - It's him. - Under the eyes of the investigators,
Boriam, the alleged forger, just popped up on her balcony
with a baby in her arms. This time, no more doubt,
the man lives well here. Eric immediately tries to fix
these images with the only camera he has on hand, his phone. Unfortunately, barely out,
the suspect returns inside, but not for long. - We have the target
just out. We will try
to spin it a little bit, see their contacts. - Would Boriam have an appointment
for his business? The police men
want to get to the bottom of it. - We're going to have a look
if he's gone to the usual cafe. - The usual coffee,
it's the café where they meet all the Kosovars of Mulhouse. An address well known to investigators
border police that they regularly monitor
and which is at the end of the street, behind its columns. - Obviously, he is at the cafe,
seated at a table. We will try to go
take our soum, try to take pictures,
to see the guys he's with. - A soum,
i.e. a submarine in police jargon. It's an unmarked vehicle
with one-way windows, which allows you to see without being seen. - You have to be reactive
in this kind of monitoring because there, as we have seen
at the cafe, we have to hurry to take snapshots
before he leaves the cafe. - Investigators
do as soon as possible because they fear
to have lost their man. - He's not here anymore ? - He's on the right?
- Yes OK, agreed With the shirt
checkered, the blue jacket. Yes ok, I see. - In the middle of a discussion,
the suspect is still quietly seated. To avoid being spotted, Renaud leaves the vehicle. While Eric, hidden in the back,
starts shooting. The goal is to have a maximum
snapshots of all individuals that revolve around Boriam. One of them
will intrigue the policeman. - He is with two people,
they talk. One of two people? We already know her from another case. A case of narcotics and help
to immigration in the Albanian environment. - The men gathered around this table
would they be there on business? Eric Hope
surprise a transaction. - On telephone interceptions, there are already hints
to permit orders. What we can check
is if there is an exchange of envelopes, an envelope of a document
against possible remuneration. - Minutes pass and still nothing. - If it's not done here,
if it happens, it's probably at home. - After two hours of hiding, investigators decide
to give up for today. - This monitoring is positive,
it's a good start. We have some contacts. Afterwards, it is to be checked and confirmed. - Today Boriam
and his friends seem to have reunited just for a drink. The police are hoping
keep learning more on the entourage of the supposed forger, in order, in particular, to establish
if other people are involved in migrant smuggling. Police investigators
at the borders don't know it yet, but it is actually
what's going to happen and it's going to be quite spectacular. Today, the camera installed just
opposite Boriam's home, the forger will reveal
a few surprises for Eric. Visual evidence. - We will try to see
if he has contacts, if he has any customers
who came to his house and check if possibly
people come looking for false documents at home
or come to get tampons or in fake stamps or fake visas. - When Boriam appears in the picture, he seems to have the daily
from Mr. Everybody. He is seen here with his wife
and her child, or go out alone
to get bread. After a moment,
the policeman will realize that all this
is only a deceptive appearance. - This sequence is interesting
because there are two people passing in front of the building,
they exchange a wallet. There is one of the guys
ringing at the building. Apparently it has no key
he tries to come in, he rings, then we open the door for him,
he enters the building. - Why these men
did they exchange a wallet? So what's inside? Above all, the man who received it
was he going to Boriam the forger? The policeman has serious doubts. So to find out,
he will stay vigilant hoping to find
these same individuals on other images. Indeed,
a few days later, stroke of luck, the man who had given his wallet, suddenly reappears. - It's our forger from Mulhouse who arrives with a person,
this gentleman in white. I will go and check with the photo of the last time there was
the exchange of wallets. - At first glance,
the description seems to match. - That's it. The jacket, the black jeans, shoes with bands
white below. Yes it's him. - The investigator is sure
it's about the individual who had handed over
the wallet to another man. Today he enters the building
alongside Boriam, the forger. Both come out of the building
a few moments later. - They stayed four minutes
because they had returned at 2:54 p.m. It's 2:58 p.m. Afterwards, you have to see if he came
home to look for a document, it happened quickly
to receive a tampon, four minutes,
it was very quick. - Just the time needed
for a formality. Would the man in white be
a customer of the alleged forger or an accomplice
Who would he have made an appointment with? To try to find out, Eric will bend over
on the suspect's wiretapping. - I'm on interceptions
that we have in this case. I will watch
if over the period in question, if possibly
there would be eavesdropping which would refer to an appointment. - Apparently, no trace
of this meeting. But parsing the last calls, Eric is going to fall
on a defining conversation. Conversation in which Boriam
appears to be on the phone with a client. - He still talks about an order. He talks about a week's delay,
but he talks about passport stuff, stuff on the passport. He talks about the price
€150 per stamp. Our forger
tells him that over there, it's good. - Over there, according to the indications
of the suspect, it would be in Kosovo. - We can suppose
that the document over there is ready, he only has to
get him repatriated. - The forger of Mulhouse
would therefore content itself with affixing, for a hundred euros,
A rubber stamp to authenticate documents
manufactured in their country of origin. Obviously,
the mechanics are well oiled. A perfect organization. - It is a well-structured organization, there are intermediaries in Kosovo, there are people
who are responsible for delivering the documents. The final recipient he's our forger
which is located in Mulhouse. - For the investigator, the modus operandi
of the counterfeiter becomes clearer. Gradually,
the elements pile up against Boriam and the police still hope
learn more by surprising him, for example in flagrante delicto. - Now, what we're waiting for, we would like to have an exchange
on the territory to can
proceed with the arrest. - But the investigators
also want to cast a wider net and discover all
the ramifications of this network. An international organization whose
we now know how it works. Anton the bridgehead
supposed from the sector would bring in
Kosovar illegal immigrants in France. Once in Mulhouse,
The new comers would address Boriam
to obtain false papers. The latter would make
documents in Kosovo and would bring
then its final touch, A rubber stamp. Now the police count
on the forger to lead them
up to Anton the brain. Anton that they still do not have
managed to locate. The police don't know it yet.
but their investigation is getting ready to take
a whole new dimension, because behind
this migrant smuggling network, they will discover
criminal activities much more worrying. In a moment, on D8,
the hidden side of the underground network. - This is serious. They rode in Germany
on robberies, burglaries. In pursuit of the brain of the network,
an incredible spin. - I left some slack
because it turned orange. I'm not grilled. How will the police succeed
to trap these ruthless outlaws? - Police, don't move! With an essential question
does it exist within the organization a killer with multiple identities? - It would be considered dangerous,
capable of being armed. He is registered under 16 different aliases. - The answer in a few minutes. A month later at the mobile brigade
border police searches, skimming the conversations
counterfeiter's telephone numbers, Eric discovers an exchange
which will mark a turning point in the investigation. - This communication is interesting, because there is ***, our counterfeiter, who online
with a with a named *** He tells her it's in Mulhouse that they arrested these friends, it just happened. He asks our forger
if he knows a lawyer. A telephone call
which intrigues the investigator. A few days ago,
he was rightly informed by the Mulhouse police station
of the arrest of three Kosovars during a routine traffic check. Quickly, the investigator discovers
that the date of arrest precisely matches
to that of the call he has just heard. - There, we make the connection. It's those three friends he's talking about. - The three men are apparently
in contact with the forger of the network, an armed trio with a disturbing profile. - He has a nine mm automatic pistol. Yeah, okay, that was heavy including a chambered cartridge. - A loaded gun. An attempt to escape. Eric decides to call
the police station for more information. - Yes, greet Stéphane
This is Eric from BMR. - Investigator is not really going
regret his call. - We did a search
with the Swiss and German authorities. These guys are known
and wanted for theft armed robbery and kidnapping. - OK,
in Germany and Switzerland. - In Swiss. - Weapons,
Robbery, kidnapping. Eric just discovered
around the counterfeiter very dangerous characters. - It's serious, they are guys
who rode in Germany on robberies,
about burglaries, were discovered balaclavas, weapons
after a search. - Even if the three men
are already under lock and key, this new information worries Eric. If the sector were closely involved
or from afar in violent holdups? - Now we will be careful
next listens, see if he speaks correctly of offenses against
people or property and then see
if there are appointments. - As the weeks pass,
the more the police wonder if they didn't bring to light
illegal smuggling much darker
with protagonists who would actually be
linked to international organized crime. If the mystery seems to thicken, the sudden reappearance
from an old acquaintance will relaunch the whole investigation. A week later, in the early morning,
Eric is already hard at work. Anton's laptop,
the mastermind of the migrant smuggling network between Kosovo and France,
just suddenly turned on after more
one month of inactivity. - We see our trafficker from Mulhouse Who is online
with people. On the other hand, these are communications
in the middle of the night, 3:30 in the morning. who talk about coming to recover, where you dropped us off
the way, the road. You do 500 meters
at the roundabout on the right and beware of the cops. - Anton the main suspect, would indulge in curious
night activities. What purpose ? This is what Eric will now
seek to discover. A word in the middle
of all these translations will attract the investigator's attention. Something that makes you think
to a burglary. - The interlocutor of *** says
that he forgot the gloves, but *** says he will do
turn around in this case. - Eric starts to wonder
if Anton would not actually serve from driver to Kosovars
to carry out burglary operations. Another message will lead him
at the beginning of the track. - He speaks of a city Heimerdingen
and it's just over the border between Strasbourg
and Colmar, but on the German side. - To get to the bottom of it, the policeman will ask
to David his colleague, to check with
German authorities if burglaries
took place on the evenings of the calls. A few minutes later, this answer will raise
the last doubts of the investigators. - There I come
to receive an answer revealing
six burglaries in the nights
that concern us. The elements that are on our plays
are corroborated by burglaries that actually happened
in that sector. So everything fits. - Migrant smuggling. False papers
and now burglaries. The investigators seem to have put
the hand on a network of criminals with multiple activities. Through listening,
the police know that Boriam, the forger of the sector
would be in contact with men who committed robberies
in Switzerland and Germany. As for Anton the traffic mastermind,
he himself would be involved in burglaries
which took place recently across the Rhine. For the commander,
it is urgent to intervene to avoid
a bloodbath in case a future
burglary would go wrong. - There is a very significant risk
that one day the team who goes up to burglaries
on these residences come face to face
with the owners. We want to avoid
that there is a skid we will say, what potential there,
the offense, we will have to put an end to it relatively quickly
within the folder. - So the boss decides
to summon his entire team to establish
a new plan of attack. Now the squad
has top priority identify Anton's address,
the brain of the network. - The most important point, identify
the current home in Mulhouse. His vehicle. Then we will take action
a little more precise to try to set up
more constant monitoring and rigorous to see if in addition, if he goes up to Germany
on burglaries, if it serves as a support for a team to
ride on burglaries in Germany. - Once again, thanks to the plays
that the investigators will find two essential pieces of information
to house the elusive Anton. He would live near
of the administrative city of Mulhouse and he would also use a black station wagon
spanish brand, an unusual brand. - It's not very common
as a vehicle. I think that will be enough
easily identifiable, especially in neighborhoods
in the areas where it hangs out. - Without waiting, the investigators
will leave in the streets of Mulhouse, on the vehicle track
of the smuggler. Direction, the neighborhood
where Anton would be housed. Eric hopes that the prime suspect
parked his car near his home. - There, the objective,
is to determine its precise address. Know exactly its input. - The police set up
a two-car device, because they intend to position themselves
at the entrance of each end the street where the vehicle will be parked,
to observe the comings and goings. First of all,
you have to find it. Eric reviews all
cars parked on the side and won't wait long
before hitting the bull's eye. Stroke of luck,
the vehicle of the head of the network is there. So, Eric will park
about fifty meters further, while his colleague, him,
stands back. - We're not bad there. - In his rearview mirror, the policeman can observe
the vehicle without being seen. He hopes to see
the main suspect. - Like this, the person,
if she goes out, she has no face to us. Here we are anyway
hidden behind the seat. This is not bad
as monitoring. - An hour passes, R.A.S, nothing to report. Eric is worried. Was he in the wrong vehicle? One thing is certain, the investigator knows
that he can't stay still here for a long time. - Stay that way
extended in a vehicle It's still quite suspicious. We wait half an hour it's ok, we can wait for a colleague,
or someone, but there. - Finally, it's when Eric gets ready
to lift the device that a man
suddenly appears. He crosses the road
in the direction of the black station wagon and from where it is, the policeman can
perfectly see his face. It is indeed Anton,
the leader of the illegal traffic. - On the other hand, we did not see it
exit the building. - If Eric did not succeed
to see where Anton came from, he hopes that his colleague,
positioned upstream, had more luck. - Yes I saw. - The second policeman think I have identified
the alleged trafficker's building. But the investigators
don't have time to say more because the suspect's vehicle is already leaving. He decides to follow him
to see where he is going. Éric transmits to the brigade the news
information he has just obtained. - Xiaomi saw it in his mirrors
exit the last door. Yes, I left some slack because it is
gone orange, I'm not toast. - The policeman knows
that he has nothing to do with anyone and that the slightest misstep could
jeopardize his shadowing. He prefers not to take any risks
and leaves several hundred meters between him and his target. - I thought I saw in the distance
that he was turning right. He returns
towards the door Two bullets? Are you behind the truck? - Yes, that's it, yes. - A few seconds later,
Éric in turn takes the street where Anton's car turned. Very quickly,
the policeman will realize that he lost track of the target. He decides to go near the cafe
that Kosovar nationals are used to frequenting. - He is the one entering
in the cafe there, right? Shaved, back yes. - Remember,
it is in this establishment precisely that the policeman
had photographed several weeks ago Boriam,
the man who would be responsible to provide false papers
to illegals. Eric prefers to end the spinning
because he is too afraid of being spotted. The policeman leaves the scene
without any worries 'cause there's another way to know
what happened at the cafe. A few hours later,
David, Eric's teammate, bring back to the brigade a DVD
which will provide valuable information. - We recovered
city videos. - Very well,
we're going to watch this. - The police will watch
video surveillance images of Mulhouse and what they will discover
will exceed all their expectations. - The image is of very good quality. We are in HD quality so suddenly, we really
very good quality. - Very quickly, they find
a usable video with stunning views
on the café where Anton sat down. So we see *** on one side yes. The investigators finally face them
the brains of the immigration network who for several months,
keeps playing hide and seek with them. A man who would also be at the center
of a team of robbers, And that's not all. It is on this point,
we have who comes to settle with an incredible terrace. Anton the brain
is with Boriam, the forger of the clandestine network. The police probably
housed the HQ of the sector, the strategic place where they meet
to establish their traffic. From now on, the investigators will do everything
to discover the identity of all accomplices
of the smuggler. Men who would participate with him
to holdups abroad. Malefactors who, you will see,
stop at nothing. A few days later,
border police investigators will make a great discovery,
a major step forward in their case On Anton's tapping
the mastermind of human trafficking. They will intercept
nocturnal communications where the prime suspect is online
with one of his accomplices, probably a burglar. We have a chain of communications
particularly interesting. There, we see really very well
guys get ready and go on a burglary. That evening, an unexpected
rather comical will change everything. A real godsend for the police. He has a little trouble
with his vehicle, he breaks down. Once it's down,
he calls with his phone people to come and help it out, ask everyone to come together
to come and help him out, etcetera. In the rain
he will give names, he's going to be a little more impulsive. Taken aback, Anton the head of the network
lowered his guard. He delivered the name
of his potential accomplices. Four men who would share
the same apartment as him in town. So, without delay, Frank and his team
will exploit these new elements. We have individuals
who are visually his roommates. We should check it out on Facebook. To identify these people, the policeman will draw
a formidable weapon, social networks. Frank only has nicknames,
but he will quickly find them in contact
of the course organiser. We did not know their face,
but we will be able progress a little faster
and retrieve at least profiles. A few clicks
and photos of these individuals appear in the picture. Here are the faces
dubious dating migrant smuggler. Frank will linger
on the profile of one of them because he posted a snapshot
more than disturbing. You can see. This is a photo that was taken
inside a Volkswagen vehicle and you clearly see a rifle there, a rifle-type rifle
12 gauge pump. With the butt folded down. Bingo! Frank is convinced of this,
those guys would be nice very active burglars
currently alongside D'Anton, the head of the network. It is highly probable that they devote themselves to other criminal activities, such as
burglary or even robbery. This is what may be
coming through. The police are now
on the trail of four new suspects. Men with the profile of thugs
which would gravitate around migrant smuggler
and who would participate with him to holdups abroad. In this case, the list of suspects
keeps getting longer. Investigators
are not at the end of their surprises, because in the entourage of the brain
of the network, they are about to discover a new criminal,
a major criminal which will upset their investigation. This morning, Frank, the captain,
just received a call of prime importance. One of his informants
is at the end of the line. He will give him information
on another dating of Anton, their smuggler of migrants. OK, thank you. -Come on, please.
-Goodbye. A dangerous man. We have an individual who would have escaped
from a remand center in Kosovo where he was serving a long sentence
duration for acts of murder. He would have benefited
an exit permit and would not have reinstated
and he would have been exfiltrated to France, just through the network. It will eventually be
someone who would be involved in armed robberies abroad,
not on French territory. A killer sentenced to 18 years in prison. Like everyone else
he too would have benefited some help from Anton the Brain
of the sector to enter France. Frank immediately wants
confirm this information delivered by his informant. If it's true, it means
that Anton would now be in contact with a murderer on the loose. For now,
we only have a physical description and a nickname that goes with a
physical description, the bald. The bald is how the man
would be called Frank doesn't know his name,
but with this simple nickname as a keyword, he will be able to sift
all contacts of Anton on the plays
recorded on their phone line. The policeman will fall
on a series of suspicious communications. The bald he says
that he is in Germany. He says there is a good car In my opinion,
it is not a car. He tells her a Land Rover,
if you know what i mean at €30,000, there are tires to install on another. Do you understand me well? Here we are in the middle
in coded language between criminals. Would it be a next
burglary in preparation? Obviously, the two men
would do well together, as the informant clarified to Frank. Would the bald lend a hand
to the small group of burglars that would gravitate around Anton,
migrant smuggler? To find out, the investigator asked
the help of the German police. Its good,
because I see that the colleague, the German colleague fired me. They made connections
with other facts. An answer that will confirm
this information. They actually found
just an overlap with the robbery of a casino
which took place at the end of April in Germany, in the border area. They, on their side,
made a connection with their Swiss colleagues
Basel criminal police and noticed
that there were three facts or four similar facts that could
be attributed to this team of robbers. Thanks to the collaboration between fonts, Frank got a photo of the infamous bald,
a man in his forties years with a shaved head. By consulting the police files, Brice, a peacekeeper,
will make an edifying discovery. It would be considered dangerous,
capable of being armed. He is registered under 16 different aliases. He is known for offense
drug laws, violations of the law
strangers, robbery with violence, aggravated theft. The list is still long, but not possible
to know for now the true identity
of this notorious criminal. Unlike other members
from Anton's team. He does not live in France. For investigators,
the chances of locating him are slim. However, a new
information goes quickly change everything. a few more days
late, the whole mobile brigade team research is on deck. We just got some information
last minute there. Commander's clues
showed up again and apparently, the man nicknamed
the Bald would be about to arrive in Mulhouse by car,
in the station area. We won't have another chance to question with caution, with maximum security, this guy. He is in Mulhouse today,
you can't miss it. For the police, no question
to leave this killer on the loose in nature. Especially since it regularly seems
in contact with the men of the D'Anton network. He would participate with them
to burglaries. He spends his time on the sector
to commit criminal acts while surfing on the different
small teams with drawers, including our main targets. The organizer, the forger, all the guys around. The investigator knows
that the bald would have obtained false papers thanks to Anton,
the head of the network, and Boriam, his forger. Since he carries
false identity documents. We are going to organize ourselves
to make a totally random check, so as not to attract
the attention of the rest of the group. A banal identity check,
this is Frank's strategy. But despite appearances,
the operation looks very risky. You equip yourself, bulletproof vests, and the usual equipment. sentenced for murder,
the man could be armed. The police will have to
increase vigilance. That is the main objective. One last look
to the photo of the individual and Frank's team is on the way. The bald must arrive
in about twenty minutes. Investigators
leave the police station and leave with three cars
to criss-cross the station area, located a few minutes
only from the brigade. They know the man has to come
in a blue vehicle registered in Germany. Yes, it works, yes. A first police car
will position itself just in front of the station. An ideal location
to track comings and goings. Nickel, we see it nickel. He has to go through it
or the other side. Frank, him,
is parked in another car, just a little higher. We, behind, we will block the back to prevent the car
escape from behind. A little further, two policemen on foot
stand watch near the bus shelter. Everything is in place now
to give the suspect no chance. But things will rush. Yes, we are coming. Frank just sounded the alarm. He saw the suspect
across the square and against all odds,
the man is not in the car but on foot, with two other people. The police are coming
from behind and challenge the three men by surprise. Don't move, raise your hands! People are on the ground. They offered no resistance. Not moving ! Where are the papers? Where are your papers, sir? Lift it ! On his side,
the bald, more to the right, remain silent for the time being. Escorted by the police, the three suspects
walk towards their vehicle because the bald man would have left his papers there. Once facing Frank,
man presents italian documents and claims he is in good standing. You speak Italian ? Only Italian? But a few seconds
later, David will make a find. What is that ? Are you that Asylum? It's not the same asylum, it's not
not the same name as on the documents there. In the suspect's wallet, the policeman unearthed a Kosovar document
and the registered name is not the same than the one who appears
on his Italian papers. You know these are false documents. Is he Italian or Kosovar? No, these are false papers. That's his real name, right? Ask him. We'll check all that at the office. OK ? The man, the bald has he procured
his false papers via the network of Anton the migrant smuggler? That's what the police think. His companions are in order. So they leave with their car. The bald, on the other hand,
will be taken to the brigade to be taken into custody
with this individual with multiple identities, the commander knows
the hardest part remains to be done. This guy,
that we now have in custody, for forgery, use of forgery. As police officers, we know
that he has a profile that goes much further. It's up to us now
to prove their identity, his real identity
under which he is wanted for his escape following a murder, from the Kosovo Remand Prison. Facing Frank, the man will accept
to reveal more, but in the absence of any camera. As he claimed
speak only Italian, he will finally trade
in German with the commander. Ten minutes later,
Frank is already satisfied. He spontaneously recognized
his true identity and especially that he was on the run
from a remand center in Kosovo. where he had already served a sentence fourteen years in prison,
which is not nothing. He had four years left
to be purged for justly to be totally free
following a murder conviction during a burglary committed in Switzerland. Obviously, he preferred to put
green in France. Arrested when
with a simple identity check, the man cannot be interrogated
about burglaries which would have been made by Anton
and his potential accomplices. As it is
of a wanted criminal, Frank wants at all costs to be able to extradite him
to Kosovo, where he was incarcerated. He immediately contacted
his liaison officer in the Balkans. It seems that he is subject
an arrest warrant, but I find no trace of it anywhere. I turn to
you to know if you could act quickly to see in Kosovo,
if we could have like we did last time,
the court documents who come to us on time
so that we can switch requesting provisional arrest. To resend
the bald in prison in Kosovo, Frank needs a document
official of the justice of this country. In the meantime, he would like to know
what the rest of the hearing gave. Did the bald talk about Anton,
the mastermind of the clandestine network, or of Boriam, his forger? It's midnight,
the interrogation of the suspect is over and apparently,
he gave details to the police on obtaining his false papers. It recognizes fake docs,
there's no problem. False Italian documents
and the fake map of Kosovo. He recongnizes,
he got them for €800 for three. Apparently he
was with a smuggler, he crossed the Serbian border. Kosovo Serbia on foot after the car,
picked it up after Serbia, Hungary on foot, retrieved Austria, Germany. OK. In fact, he does not give details more specific about what he knows. -Nobody
-Okay, it's not surprising. Frank knows from his informants
that the murderer would have benefited network services
to come to France, but the man
didn't want to say anything about it and gave no name. There he couldn't deny
document fraud. He couldn't deny the fact
that he is on the run and he has problems
with the authorities judicial
Kosovo, he does not deny it I seriously think
that he's not going to go to hell in spontaneously recognizing
facts for which he is suspected. The police think
they won't know any more. From now on, the urgency is to return
this dangerous criminal in prison in Kosovo. The next day, the Bald is taken away
at the Colmar Court of Appeal, the competent authority
for extradition proceedings. The arrest of this man
who was in contact with Anton, the presumed mastermind of the sector
will precipitate events Because from now on, the investigators will have to
call him as soon as possible, him and his accomplices,
lest all members of the network do not vanish into nature. The very next day, Frank
summoned his entire team as well as several police departments,
and especially men Mulhouse Public Security. Your attention just a few moments. In total, about sixty police
mobilized to challenge a dozen objectives,
all directly or indirectly related to Anton, the brains of the immigration chain. That the investigations
were able to determine that we were facing to a structure
particularly organized. Border Police investigators
decided to strike strong the next morning
triggering a wave of arrests on different sites in Mulhouse. Near the apartment
of the administrative city where would Anton the alleged mastermind live
of the immigration channel, with at least three accomplices
potential for burglary. But also at Boriam,
the forger, this father who would provide
illegal immigrants with false papers. But problem,
it looks like he's missing. The little thing that annoys a little,
it's been a week since our friend *** went to Kosovo
for technical and family reasons, but more technical. That is to say, he is likely to come back
with false documents. Unfortunately we will not have
time to wait. Investigators want
still search his home in the hope
to find evidence there. Faced with all these high-flying traffickers, the operation is risky. Frank wants to warn his men. The rules must be very strict. I would not accept that a colleague
be injured on this kind of intervention. You all know that. So, I repeat,
we are looking for people to the established dangerousness. Tomorrow, if they want to put
a halt mafia activities
of the Anton sector, the police cannot
afford no faux pas. In a few minutes,
high-risk arrests. These individuals may be armed. Suspects
who taunt the police. It's been three or four years
that people have these debts because he was doing
grow potatoes in people. Despite the evidence
found at their home. The names of the illegals with the debts. Especially stunning confessions from a thug
found in extremis. Have you been involved in burglaries? All the answers in a moment. The next morning, at dawn,
This is the big day for investigators
border police. The culmination of a year of investigation. We're finally going to see our targets up close. We will finally talk to them
after all these hours of surveillance, telephone tapping, etcetera. With about fifteen colleagues, Frank,
commander, will take care of the main target
in that case, Anton the migrant smuggler
who would live with other evildoers. The police expect to find
at least four people on site. So there are many of them
for this rather delicate operation. These individuals can be armed and especially,
there is a high risk of leakage. They will do anything to try to escape
to arrests if we do not freeze not quickly the situation. On site, the neighborhood is still asleep. Investigators intend to pick
the suspects out of bed. The police rush in
quietly in the building. Through their supervision,
they know that the apartment is here, on the ground floor. is Anton
well behind this door? Police, don't move. In a few seconds,
the police raid the apartment. Stay on the ground. Individuals are stunned. Surprised by the speed of response. You have no light. A total of four men and one woman
are immediately under control. Frank is satisfied. It's good, it's fixed? It's okay, light. The commander is smiling. Yes it was fast
there is a switch there. Anton the wanted trafficker is there, sitting right on a mattress. It does not lead far. And among his roommates,
there is a couple that investigators do not know. Illegals
without papers who obviously, have just arrived in France. Investigators will now move on
the apartment with a fine comb in search of the least
conclusive evidence that can attest possible burglaries. Every corner is meticulously inspected
and it is first of all a bulky object which catches the eye of the police. Yes this
it's burglary equipment, It is used to cut
armored doors. It can be used for many things,
but this is the perfect tool. It really is
preferred tool. It's not over because a little further, Frank falls
on an equally interesting bag with inside,
a crowbar and gloves. Whose is this? No answer. Anthony and his friends
remain silent for now. The police are now going
tackle their suitcases and oddly,
they find packs of €2 coins small change
resulting from a burglary, Too early to say,
but it's in another suitcase What Frank is going to do
his best find. In this binder belonging to Anton, they unearth a small
paper folded in four. A discovery that is in his eyes
unequivocally the occult accounting of the brain
of the sector, written by hand. You see, there we have,
the name of the illegal immigrants with the origin, the city with the debts
which are mentioned in euros about what he
is due to the title of the passages. The sums at stake are not small, neighboring on
this sheet €22,000 in all. Real physical evidence
to establish illegal smuggling. The intervention is a success
for investigators border police. Problem one of the targets
missing this morning. Remember, it's about the man
who exhibited a shotgun on social networks. Investigators hope to find
locate him within the next few hours. In the immediate future,
the first suspects are taken away to the brigade to be auditioned. Stay now
the delicate question of the counterfeiter. Another team goes to his home. First floor right. Here, the intervention is less risky
because the man would have gone on a trip in his country, in Kosovo,
leaving wife and child in Mulhouse. Here, therefore, no question
ram to break down the door. Open up, it's the police! Hello ma'am. Hello ladies and gentlemen, this is the police. We will enter. Good morning ! Inside, everything seems calm. That the three there yes, I have a grandson. She was near there. As expected, there is only the
Boriam's wife and children. The man is not at home. Immediately, the police
begin the search. They hope to find material
intended for the manufacture of false papers, and in particular the famous
stamp pads that Boriam would use to authenticate their documents. First of all,
they collect cell phones and computer hardware. The USB sticks are there. Looking for small objects Investigators search everywhere,
under the mattress, in drawers, at the bottom of suitcases,
and they end up finding jewelry and a sum
substantial cash. seven hundred fifty euros six hundred. But still no proof
confirming the alleged activity of the forger. Until a first
discovered in the living room. For the pictures
identity of his brother? As the wife speaks
in his native language, a translated interpreter. In fact, he warns me
I think it's too early Because the person in question
wished to actually make him a visa -So he can...
-Which person ? Her husband is going to give her a visa? That's nice of him. An answer that does not really seem
convince the police. They think they're on the right track
and indeed, a few moments later,
their suspicions will be confirmed thanks to these photocopies
identity papers. It doesn't explain why. I have several brothers. I don't have their ID. Clearly, investigators
don't believe it, but no trace of the ink pads. Worried, Frank joined his men. He wants at all costs to put his hand
on something significant. I can see you for two minutes. The boss is convinced
that the key to the enigma lies within its four walls. So he will persevere
with a new group of police. There are three more
staff who will arrive. We are going to redo a total search
of the House because what is hidden in here. We do everything, we redo everything thoroughly. The commander does not want to give up. He knows well that a multitude
hiding places are possible. He decides to return the entire
of the appartment because without any
physical evidence, it will be difficult to confuse the counterfeiter. We know there is something
we are almost certain, so we really have to find it. These things, these little tampons. It left for a second search. Through perseverance, Frank
ends up falling on a strange little bottle. This is ink
for ink pad. That's a little
blotter, which was used to affix stamps, visibly. The determination of the boss
finally paid. The police will keep this bottle
preciously because they intend to use it during interrogation
of the wife of Boriam, the forger and play the element of surprise. In the end, the search
will have lasted several hours. Departure for the brigade where the woman
of the forger will now be heard as a witness
because it is not directly implicated in this case. In the corridors of the BMR,
all suspects arrested this morning waiting
12 people in all arrested at their homes. A wide sweep
for PAF officers. Now the hearings
will be able to start. Starting with that of Anton
migrant smuggler, the main suspect in this case. He will be questioned by David
and by Brice, a colleague from the brigade, in the presence of a lawyer
and an interpreter. From the start, the man is relaxed
and unimpressed. Why did you leave your country? I left
because I was [inaudible]. He did not commit an offense
in Kosovo who could worry him, wherein
he can be worried by justice? The interrogation
immediately takes a strange turn. The defendant does not want
say a word about his criminal past. However, these documents
addressed to the Chancellery prove it. It is searched
by the Kosovo authorities for illegal smuggling of migrants. So the two investigators
will make him understand that they are not there
to waste their time. You suspect well,
I allow myself to touch him. Doubt well
that if you are asked these kinds of questions, we are waiting for an answer
a little more relevant. It's that you have been accused
of certain crimes in Kosovo. So what have I been accused of? Suspect found the parade. It would have been nice
and well accused in his country, but according to him, wrongly. So, in an attempt to destabilize him,
David will change the subject and ask him about Boriam,
the forger of Mulhouse because the police are convinced of it,
the two men would work hand in hand. Does he know
a certain *** in Mulhouse? 'Cause if I ask you,
you know I know the answer. Waste of time, Anton
claims not to know that name. So the investigators present him
a photograph of Boriam. What's his name? He said I know him, but he.
is not called ***. The man seems to take
this interrogation lightly. So the cops go fast
make him understand that they are one step ahead. We heard everything you said We've been listening to you for months. You have to stop trying
to talk bullshit. We have to answer
because we all know that. As I told you earlier,
the judge knows it too. Within seconds, David
takes the pressure up a notch and he will immediately submit to the suspect
a telephone conversation very particular which proves that he knows
very well the forger. You are online with ***. This person there wanted to send. You want to send her a friend
to discuss you ask him if he can paint
the guy's apartment? We imagine well
that he is not a house painter. It's once again
a coded communication which refers to
to document fraud. Nothing works. With confidence,
the suspect claims to be white as snow. An untenable position for the police
because they have against this man enough dependent items
to confuse him. David is therefore not very worried. We have evidence on this person
and there he is to sink completely in refuting all of our findings. So, the more it will go,
the more he will deny the more he will be caught at his own game. There will be a little less indulgence
on him and suddenly it may take a little more in the end. Meanwhile, in the next room,
the forger's wife is heard. As her husband is traveling in Kosovo,
investigators want to know if yes or no
she is aware of his activities. What does he do with his days?
apart from looking for a job When he was working,
what else was he doing? How ? Does your husband have many friends? No. Monsieur ***, is at the cafe every day with your husband just downstairs. The woman claims
not knowing who Anton is. The presumed mastermind of the sector. Besides, she seems to know very little
things in her husband's life. Stay at his home,
a compromising document was found. So, during the search
from your home, we also discovered a photocopy
a French residence permit in the name of. Who is this person, how a
photocopy of title of residence is at your place? Boriam's wife
flies to the rescue of her husband. True or false ? Anyway, the police
don't get discouraged though. They return to the famous object
found when search of the couple's home. He had been discovered
this bottle of black ink. For the computer. Who uses this? There is someone
who uses it is yours. The forger's wife has the answer. She doesn't show herself
taken aback by this finding. So the investigators
will push the questioning a little further
and try to make her react talking to him about
telephone communication between her husband and
a mysterious client. He asks her if it is possible
to arrange a permit for someone else. Your husband, answers yes, it is doable. Seen the face you made,
what else do you doubt? I swear, I don't know. You are still surprised
regarding what... The forger's wife claims
not be aware illegal activities of her husband. But investigators are skeptical. In other offices,
everywhere, it's the same refrain. All other suspects
don't give any information on the illegal immigration network
and its main organizer. Same silence on the side of the roommates
of the brain of the sector, men suspected of participating
to burglaries who say as little as possible. Are there any statements
spontaneous to do to us? What you did before is this
what you continue to do today. Why all the suspects
are they prisoners of the law of silence? In fact, there may be an explanation,
because one of the accomplices of the network is going to make a significant revelation. He knows nothing ? He's sure he doesn't know anything? You must understand
that even if we know, with us,
we don't say if we have the answer. if i know something
concerning this gentleman and I say, I know that something
bad thing will happen to me. Omerta would therefore reign supreme
of the 12 suspects. On the one hand, the boss who says nothing
to protect your business, and on the other side of the beneficiaries
suspected of the network who remain silent for fear of reprisals. This is why investigators
face a wall of silence since the start of the auditions. Interrogations that get bogged down. While the investigation seems to have reached an impasse, the police will get their hands
on a new man which will change everything. To relaunch their investigation,
border police investigators only have one card to play
find the man as soon as possible who was missing this morning when
of the wave of arrests. An accomplice of the brain of the network
who could, you never know, turn out to be more talkative. Remember, this man,
probably a burglar, had been very talkative at the time
where Anton, the organizer of the sector, had run out of gas. David and Brian
decide to try everything. A final gamble. They decide to wander
all the places where they have a chance to hit their target. First step the famous coffee
where the alleged brain set his appointments. Investigators are crossing their fingers. I thought it was ***
who was coming in front. It's a disappointment. Their suspect is not here. The police are chasing
their road then separate so as not to attract attention. David then makes a discovery
unexpected, almost a miracle. Wait, I think they're here. I believe they are
on the terrace on the right. Unbelievable ! The man they are looking for is seated
in a fast food restaurant quietly. David hastens
to join his colleague. There are. On the terrace, all alone? All alone. The police immediately contact
the brigade to bring in reinforcements. In the meantime, each on their own,
investigators will watch the target
remotely, because David feels that the suspect remains on his guard. I think he knows
of what happened. It is not for nothing that he is
head spinning all the time. What worries me is that he is
finishing his can. In my opinion it will not take long to rise. Bingo, it's moving! Did the individual notice
the presence of the police? Maybe,
because he is going away. For his part, warned by David, Frank
leave the squad by car with a colleague. Be careful,
he may be calibrated that guy. Investigators are suspicious
because, remember, on his Facebook,
the individual in question did not hesitate to exhibit a weapon of caliber
12 in his car. A few minutes later, Frank, the commander, arrives on site
to lend a hand to David. While the suspect is
to return to his vehicle, the police decide to intervene. Not moving ! Raise your hands. Don't touch anything. For investigators,
it is a huge reward. Their persistence paid off. The man offered no resistance. He is immediately taken to the brigade. Now investigators
bet everything on him, because according to telephone tapping, the man didn't have his tongue
in his pocket. So will he speak when
of his interrogation? That's what the hearing is all about
which will now take place in French. The man masters the language and for good reason,
this Kosovar works in Switzerland as an insurance agent
and has been for several years. In the last three months. have you stayed
in an apartment in Mulhouse The man looks tense and uncomfortable. So the investigators
will increase the pressure and try to destabilize it by questioning him
on a telephone conversation. At the time the suspect was online
with Anton, the head of the network. An exchange where it was a question
of a fuel shortage. Go tell us this story.
What happened ? When was that? Roughly. Who were you with ? I was not alone. with Antonio, I know you remember. The man is silent
but begins to break down because he realizes that the case
is more serious than he thought. The investigators will therefore rush
in this breach to make him speak. You are a good guy because
that you work, you have a situation... Tell us, what happened? Do you owe them money?
They threatened you? What did they do for
burglary with them? I didn't commit a burglary Tell us what you were doing I was just posing. What the hell were you doing with them? They, did they go there? If you're not there,
what were you doing with them? I thought that's all. Under pressure,
the man begins to recognize a minimal role in a burglary,
then breaks down in tears. Do you want to take a break? Overwhelmed, he finally goes
break the law of silence. I didn't understand. I owed money. Who did you owe money to? But to whom? How many ? Twenty five thousand francs. About 25,000 francs. The man explains that he needed 25
000 Swiss francs, i.e. approximately €20,000, to cover an intervention
surgery for her mother. And finally. You have participated in burglaries
for the purpose of reimbursement. That's it ? I helped others I helped. It was to win
money ? What did they promise? He will even give the names
of all who were present. Who was there that night? There was ***. The man ends up delivering
to the police the entire network headed by Anton. It also explains why we found small change
during searches. What they robbed
that night ? They did not return with their arms full. Pieces of two? Remember, €2 lots
indeed had were found at the trafficker's home. The audition is about
to end. For the police,
it is a real success. For the first time with
confessions of a man who broke the omerta. Frank, the commander, is over the moon. It is indeed a medium
where silence is king and very compartmentalized. We are not used to
on this community to have spontaneously recognition of participation
to criminal acts. The man who allowed
to advance the whole investigation goes to his cell for his first night
behind bars. After this damning testimony, Anton,
the alleged mastermind of the clandestine network
can't keep saying that there is nothing to it. This is the second day in custody. The police are optimistic
because they collected first-hand testimony
who directly accuses Anton to be the mastermind of the whole thing. They are therefore logically convinced
that this one will not take long to crack. All the more
that they have in their possession a dependent element
a handwritten occult accounting. A paper which, in all likelihood,
was used to record the debts of illegal immigrants
having used his services. What is marked above
of the document ? What does it mean ? At this precise moment, the investigators
think they put the suspect up against the wall. But against all odds,
the man will provide an explanation. Rather far-fetched remarks for
justify the sums due to him. He says it's been three or four years
that people have his debts because they grew
potatoes in people. Potatoes. For potatoes, it's expensive
for potatoes all that? You get that €57,000 fifty-seven thousand euros
reimbursement of potatoes. The defense strategy
is absurd for the police, but no matter, the suspect sticks to it. Investigators include
that he won't give up. So they count
ask him one last question about burglaries,
by sharing with him the damning confessions of one of his accomplices. The migrant smuggler
suddenly becomes mute. He still wants to talk
at the audition or does he want to stop there? -What does he want ?
- He doesn't want to talk at all. Useless to insist
the brain of the sector will no longer speak. The police men
won't get any confessions from him. He asserts his right to silence. We tried a little to make him
understand where his interest lay. It is his right. We don't discuss anymore. The investigation is over, well almost. To everyone's surprise,
an unforeseeable event will allow the police
to close permanently investigations
in a totally bizarre way. Because a man who had disappeared will do it again suddenly

the network forger gone abroad
at the time of the arrests, just got arrested at the airport. It's another room

would never have considered. He was returning from Kosovo. He flew back and he got checked

who wanted a stamp, you took the document, you went
at home and you would return them later There remains a concern during the search
at the home of the counterfeiter. The police men
grabbed a bottle of ink. They are therefore convinced
that Boriam used it to make fake papers. It is a mistake. this is ink
What do you use to make stamps? It's not that ? So the forger's wife was right. She was apparently not
aware of nothing. The ink found in the bottle
served the family computer well. The man actually had another method
to operate. You dip the toothpick
in the felt, in the tip. What is the toothpick used for?

the investigation is coming to an end. The Mobile Research Squad
