For everyone, the "French Connection" is the title of an American detective film.
Every day, dozens of Americans die of overdose, because of very pure heroin, “made in France”, straight from Marseille.
For the Marseille underworld, it is lucrative and practically unpunished trafficking.
American police officers have had traffic between France and New York in their sights for years when, in 1962, a French television host was arrested in New York.
