Dating

L'Express stamps the article 22 August 2026 and says the consignment "a été interceptée jeudi matin" and that the case began "jeudi" with the arrival of flight DE 2314 "en provenance de Francfort, vers 7 h 25". The item uses Thursday 20 August. The article does not date the controlled delivery or the two later arrests.

Quantities

The article gives "20,42 kilos de cannabis ainsi que de 15,46 kilos de résine de cannabis" and keeps them separate; the item does the same and does not add them. The value, "estimée à près de Rs 150 millions", is given without an attribution and is not stored. The word "record" appears in the article's headline and is not supported by any comparison in the text.

Attribution

Frankfurt is the departure point of the flight. The article does not say where the cannabis came from. It says the drugs were intended for the local market and refers to a "réseau présumé de trafic de drogue" between Europe and Mauritius, which is the article's description of a suspected network.
