(original title: L'affaire B52)

The incredible hunt for Pablo Escobar's nephew.

The Investigation
In 2016, the DEA intercepted a ton of cocaine freshly delivered by plane from Medellin in Bayonne. It was the very first delivery of what Pablo Escobar's nephew hoped would become a new trafficking line between Colombia and Europe. Journalist Constance Vilanova speaks with Antoine, one of the investigators who worked on this network for a year, to relive this hunt as if we were part of it. From the twists and turns to the dark side of the cop profession, Antoine tells how he experienced this episode to the point of putting his family life aside.
