Addressed by Me Eugène Bangoura, who defends the interests of a forty-year-old suspected of money laundering, this QPC may then be submitted, or not, to the Constitutional Council by the Court of Cassation.

As a reminder, this QPC focuses on article 60 of the customs code deemed unconstitutional on several points by lawyer berruyer. The lawyer had in particular highlighted the fact that customs controls are put in place without the gaze of the judicial authority and even without its authorization or that the space of time during which a person is immobilized during a control , and his vehicle searched, is not subject to any legal framework. For Me Bangoura, this time of control undermines the freedom to come and go.
In his submissions concerning this QPC request, Joël Garrigue, public prosecutor, relied on the wisdom of the court.
