A Moroccan who had lived and worked legally in France for 25 years was expelled for keeping the bag of an illegal entrant. The man was charged with aiding and abetting a clandestine immigrant after holding his compatriot's bag for a few days. Convicted in September 1995, he was sentenced to six months imprisonment and banishment for five years, and his residence permit was withdrawn. He was selected for the 22nd collective expulsion by chartered aircraft on 7 August. Interior minister Debre announced his intention to increase the frequency of collective expulsions from two to three a month from September. Migration NewsSheet, September 1996
