From the 1950s to the 1970s, a gigantic heroin trafficking took place between France and the United States with Montreal as a hub. The alliance of various criminal organizations and an incredible number of French, Canadian and American traffickers then made it possible to set up the most important drug trafficking ever carried out for the time, a mythical network today known under the name of the French Connection. Stéphane Berthomet retraces in this podcast the history of this network and highlights the little-known roles that Montreal and certain Quebecers have played there.
