The DEA's French Connection refers to a major drug trafficking operation in the 1970s that involved the smuggling of heroin from Turkey to the United States via France. This network was notorious for its high purity heroin and was largely disrupted by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in collaboration with various law enforcement agencies. The operation became famous for its portrayal in popular culture, particularly the 1971 film "The French Connection," which depicted the relentless pursuit of drug traffickers. Ultimately, the DEA's efforts led to significant arrests and a decline in the heroin supply in the U.S. during that era.
