Assaulting Armoured Cars
On August 28th, 9 million euros were robbed in an armored van in the suburbs of Lyon. Several months before, the same modus operandi was used in various attacks in Fren-speaking Switzerland. Mercenaries armed to the teeth, specialists in weapons of war, threatened the lives of conveyors, policemen but also citizens. For the robbers, the hundreds of millions of euros in transit on the roads of Switzerland are an attractive loot, and seemingly less risky to rob than elsewhere in Europe. Our journalists investigate the resurgence of ultra-violent robberies.
